Thursday 19 October, 10am–4pm

Everyone welcome! No experience required.

We will spend the day helping to maintain the lengths of hedgerow we having been working on for the past two years. We will be weeding the hedgerows and watering the newly planted whips, where needed, and gapping up any that haven’t survived. We will also be creating clear access to the hedgeline so we can recommence our hedge-laying work this winter.

In association with TCV’s Biodiversity Action Team (South London). This is a joint project of Lambeth Council and the Brockwell Park Community Partners. Friends of Brockwell Park is happy to support it financially, by planting wildflowers along the hedgerow.

This is one of three hedge-maintenance days this week: Tuesday–Thursday 17–19 October.

Meet towards the top end of the park along the Cressingham Estate boundary.

This project is part of a Butterfly Conservation/Lambeth Council project to improve habitat for butterflies in urban areas. Today we will be  installing two wildflower strips approximately 2m width x 13m length. We will then be rotavating the soil, seeding the strips and erecting temporary fencing around each strip to give the seed a chance to germinate.

Meet at the top end of the park next to the Cressingham Estate/Brockwell Park Gardens upper gate.
