In October 2019 a Friends Work Party cleared and area in the Osier Bed to plant Osier Willow. The last time this type of Willow was grown here would have been back in the days of Thomas Rivers and it would have been in the early part of the 20th century. The Osiers came from Sawbridgeworth Marsh Nature Reserve where they had been harvested and stood in water to keep them fresh.
.The planting took place towards the end of November 2019.
