Help build leaky dams across Epping Forest this winter

Volunteers are needed to help build a series of leaky dams across Epping Forest this winter.

“Leaky dams are a natural flood management measure. Made of wood and placed horizontally across a watercourse, they mimic the natural obstruction caused by trees and branches falling into the water,” said a City of London Corporation spokesperson.

The dams are designed to reduce flood risks, protect the Forest’s carbon store and improve water quality.

Volunteer sessions will take place from November.
