CRG St David’s Day clean-up event: Pentwyn Lake, Saturday 1st March

By special request from Cardiff Parks Services, the next Cardiff Rivers Group event is on Saturday, 1st of March cleaning up Pentwyn lake and the surrounding area.

We did this area at a special CRG event where we partnered a BT volunteering day back in July ’13 and now they need us again.

The results of the recent recky can be seen on Flickr here

We will work around and in the lake and also stream. There is a particularly bad area by the play park where at least 4 deeply rooted trollies form a bit of a dammed area.

We are hoping that the event attracts a large group of volunteers. There will be a groups of people working in the stream and lake wearing waders as well a larger supporting group cleaning up the along banks and nearby paths.

We will rendezvous at the Purple truck shown on the map at the car park area nearest the play park and lake.

For those unfamiliar with the area, see the map below which shows the car park and meeting place.
