Come and join us for the last volunteer days on the River Roding, as we do all we can to care for & restore the river before the arrival of spring.

This winter work season has seen a flurry of activity on the River Roding: using the brief window of time in late winter to plant & tend hundreds of trees, remove tonnes of rubbish & clear paths & create public access along the river. None of this would be possible without our

This is the story of an ongoing oil spill on the River Roding &, most importantly, why the Environment Agency not only needs to respond quicker, but also needs to get better at working with local river guardians on the ground, who are the eyes & ears of our waterways.

On Thursday night I looked out of my boat & knew immediately that something was wrong on the River Roding. The moon was glimmering off the water in a strange way I hadn’t seen before. I went outside to discover an oil slick streaked across the river & the smell of engine oil in

What better way to confirm that the Lower River Roding around Wanstead & Ilford now has some of the most urban otters in London that this stunning shot by @TheCowboyBirder? It should give us all the incentive we need to protect & restore our river for all its creatures.

After my first sighting on the 2nd March, this happened today along the same stretch of the River Roding at Wanstead with @WansteadBirder. One the very few photos of a wild Otter on a London river @riverroding @standardnews #londonbirds

@seankerrigan @NPASLondon That’s great to hear- we obviously wanted to be sure before any official announcements. If you could link us up with those naturalists so we can confirm the sightings & use them to campaign for the river, we’d really appreciate it.
