How well do you know the Colne Valley Regional Park?
#DYK it stretches from #Rickmansworth in the north, to #Staines and the Thames in the south, #Uxbridge and Heathrow in the east, to #Slough and #Chalfont in the west; that’s 43 square miles. Here’s a map.
Gorgeous day today in the Colne Valley Regional Park. You’ll find many ideas for local walks here if you are able to seize the chance for a walk in the #Spring sunshine this week.

•Weeding completed ready for seeding next month
•Brambles cleared
•Invasive species removed
Little Britain Lake is being #LitterPicked right now.
Thanks to enthusiastic #volunteers.
Great to see this site getting some love, being cleared up and the sun is even shining on their efforts.

The lack of a co-ordinated approach to managing these, and no plan for restoration of remaining Green Belt, means we are sleepwalking into losing the CVRP. Our campaign urges Government and local councils to seize the opportunity to change how they manage development and the Green Belt.

The Colne Valley is nationally important for wildlife, offering open space, woods, rivers and lakes for people to enjoy. But there has been a surge of development proposals.

Getting a lift back after a hard working day!
A long stretch of the canal from #Denham Deep lock to #Harefield was #LitterPicked on Wednesday. Thanks are due to Canal & River Trust who collected the tired #volunteers and heavy bags of rubbish in their boat
On Wednesday morning whilst #volunteers were out litter picking beside the canal between #Uxbridge & #Denham they were delighted to see activity on the other side of the canal where the #FlyTip beside the A40 on the bank of the GUC was being removed. Photos show early morning and late afternoon.

It’s about time you discovered the #Iver monthly walk: it’s an institution! This is a popular walk with a local guide with stacks of knowledge of the area and wildlife.
Join them this Saturday 21st February at 2pm.

And we were glad the Canal & River Trust could take the rubbish we collected away in their boat. This is Nik’s regular running route, which he is now looking forward to enjoying litter free. Thanks also to South Bucks Wombles for joining.
