Meet at the Garland Road gate
Join our walk led by Stuart Banks, resident RSPB member, for an hour or two discovering what’s going on during the busy nesting season.
Nearly there!!
The long-awaited day arrived on 29 March – work began on the installation of a new drinking fountain for the benefit of all Park users. Steve and Jack struggled with the geology of this hill, but four holes and a lot of sweat later they managed to successfully lay the pipework from the pavement at the Plum Lane entrance.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
The winter we may like to imagine…
Thank you, Team!
Thank you very much to everyone who turned out for bulb planting. The weather was kind and we managed to find homes for all 1000 crocuses and 1000 native daffodils. After scientifically considering the light, drainage, views – and if we could manage to get a trowel or spade into the ground – we planted in several areas which will be revealed this spring.
BULB PLANTING THIS SUNDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2PM
Get off that computer and get outside!
There are 2000 free bulbs to plant in our lovely Park, come and join in for an hour or two.
We will meet at 2pm in the middle of the woods by the large fallen oak tree. Hope to see you there!
Thank you
The Management Committee
