Until recently this was a minor road. However a distribution depot has opened up behind the photographer that sounds as if it is run by legendary tough women.

Waiting For A Bioblitz
Essex Wildlife Trust staff are waiting at Image for a small army of volunteers to arrive to record as many species as they can during the day. Often common species go unrecorded. The technique of the Bioblitz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioBlitz uses citizen scientists to get as comprehensive picture of the habitat as possible.

Oliver Road Lagoons Nature Reserve
Oliver Road Reserve is owned by The Land Trust https://thelandtrust.org.uk/space/oliver-road-lagoons/ but since 2018 has been managed by
Essex Wildlife Trust https://www.essexwt.org.uk/. The 40ha site is that of a former coal fired power station demolished around 1997. The land contaminated with fly ash became secondary birch woodland with little biodiversity. The clearance of many of the trees has led to significant improvement in this. 59 “Red List” species have been recorded on the site as well as a further 27 nationally scarce species. The reserve is particularly good for invertebrates and includes the largest intertidal mudflats in the inner Thames area. The reserve is closed to the public due to the contaminated nature of the soil. However you could join the Wednesday work party https://www.essexwt.org.uk/volunteering-opportunities/work-party-volunteers-oliver-road-lagoons To continue on a tour of Wildlife Trust sites in Essex visit Image

Old Bridge at Oliver Road

Clearance of the trees has created some nationally important habitat. 59 Red list species have been recorded on site.
