Wednesday Walk 10–12

Greencombe,Porlock,TA24 8NU

09 Jan 2019

00:00

This is a good walk if you’re in the mood for some fresh air and exercise while feeling a sense of purpose. We’ll start our walk along Coleridge Way from the back gate of Greencombe Gardens TA248NU. From 10.00 to 12.00 we’ll enjoy a walk along foot and bridal paths, where there may not be much to pick up. This jaunt will take us uphill, where we’ll come out of the wood onto Porlock Hill, where there may be quite a bit of litter. I prefer to use an old [handled] shopping bag for litter pickup, as I feel that carrying around a plastic trash bag isn’t easy, and it adds to the [non-biodegradable] plastic trash buildup in our waste stream. Please email me to confirm you’ll join this walk. .

Friends of Riverside Park Newhaven
Friends of Riverside Park was set up following a failed attempt to build a water park on the land which is owned by East Sussex County Council & Lewes District Council and now known as Riverside Park, Newhaven. The site was up until the late 1970s/early 1980s a landfill site for the town. Once the site was full to capacity it was capped and left to nature. We now have a wonderful array of wildlife and recently funds were spent by the local Councils to make improvements including a properly laid circular path, benches dotted around the park, a bird viewing platform, owl nest box and various hibernacula and scrapes. Scrub has been managed to improve the quality of the soil. All this has been done with the help and assistance of the Friends of Riverside Park who work as a go-between the Community who use the Park and the Councils. As part of our ongoing support we organise monthly litter picks to safeguard the natural environment & are making other small improvements to the area including more litter bins and hopefully seating.
