Participants should meet at the Claire Murphy Riverwalk, 170 Kent Road, where KLT has been actively restoring the habitat of waterfowl and other riverbank-dependent species by removing invasive plants. Sturdy, waterproof footwear and weather-appropriate clothing is advised, as are a water bottle, pruners and loppers.
