CONSERVATION enthusiasts are being invited to join a work party to help spruce up a nature reserve.

Residents can help to make a difference by joining the team at Thurrock Thameside Nature Reserve Work Party, Mucking Wharf Road, Stanford Le Hope on Thursday March 2 from 10am to 4pm.

Entrance to the event is free.

It is a great way to get involved with hands on conservation work whilst enjoying the company of other people.
