Hertford Civic Society might be worth contacting. Their interests are very wide-ranging.

Might not be quite what you had in mind but where we are based in Maidenhead Yard we could do with some help in cleaning up the river - last count ten trolleys, two bikes and assorted metal. I was hoping to run river trips from this location but grant application failed.
However the people who want to run the cruises are keen as is everyone else i spoke to, including East Herts. This would be part of a general clean up and greening of this part of town (which incidenatlly Kate has the backing on the Civic Society) and restoration of the Seed Warehouse and Museum storage.
If you feel it might be worthwhile email me at repliesatjohnbarber.com (because the profile address is gets thrown out with the spam). Can't make a decision by myself as it involves a friend of mine who is currently on leave. But I know he'd be supportive.

There's some stuff under the Beane Rd bridge that could be removed, too (though don't disturb the coots).
Seriously though, CMS (they are the council but possibly a different department to the one you spoke to) may not have anything on Tuesdays (they have a Sunday and Wednesday group), but they'll know a lot of the groups around here and may be able to put you in touch. Another group to talk to are the Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust who look after several areas, including Kings Mead.

Latest CMS news letter mentions the following: they need people to do butterfly and pond surveys, and the ramblers apparently do footpath maintenance one Tuesday a month.

Sloopjohnb thanks for the suggestions can you contact me on zero tripple seven 0678719[:)]. I can discuss further with you the group and what we can and cant do. If we are to empty rivers of rubbish we need something to put the rubbish in. Everyone else who has responded thanks a lot please feel free to call me on the above number. River projects always go down well.
