River Restoration & Guardianship (Bees to a Flower) with Paul Powlesland

Restoration, regeneration, potluck meals, jams around the fire, and much more…

Journey along the River Roding with Paul and learn how anyone can become a river guardian. 

Together we will learn about one of London’s most ancient rivers, how it was lost & became a ‘ghost river’, and the unique opportunity to resurrect it in our collective imaginations, to bring it physically back to life. 

Join Paul Powlesland, founder of Lawyers for Nature, as he takes you on a journey along the Back River; East Ham’s River Roding We will focus much of the day on learning about the river, how Paul has actively been restoring it, what you can do to take care of your local rivers and other restoration efforts such as tree planting.

This will be a unique community event on the banks of the River Roding in East London, on Sunday 2nd February 9.30 am-8 pm.

Wrap up warm and bring a dish to share for our potluck meal and your instruments for our fireside jam session.
