Now in its fifteenth year, this unique 3 Rivers Clean Up partnership program has been highly successful in removing and preventing the spread of Himalayan Balsam and other species such as Giant Hogweed and Japanese Knotweed, in the Ravensbourne River catchment. Removing invasive species is the main focus, however, the 3 Rivers Clean Up is a great opportunity to remove all the rubbish and debris that builds up within this urban river catchment. With your help we can make these rivers more attractive to visit.

Why not become part of this amazing show of community strength? Thames21 and the event partners will lead a series of volunteer events in collaboration with, the London Borough of Lewisham, Thames21, Quaggy Waterways Action Group and a number of local Friends Groups.  These hands-on volunteering opportunities will take place throughout the Ravensbourne river system; the rivers Ravensbourne, Pool and Quaggy which flow though the South East London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich, Croydon and Bromley.
