Drop in any time and stay as long as you like. Last entry 12.30pm
Help us restore this woodland near Bellingham. This wonderful space which hasn’t been touched for decades but it needs our help. It is overgrown, so the trees need releasing from ivy and bramble, the woodland floor needs to be opened up and paths made so we can use this as a community space. We will also be making dead hedges with any materials cleared. This all will benefit both nature and people. Plus you will learn about the different trees in this restorative space which is full of butterflies and the bird song is amazing.
All welcome as there is something for everyone to get involved in. All tools and gloves provided. Bring drinks/ water and wear outdoor clothes.
In this space this year we piloted a ‘Woodland for Wellbeing’ project to provide support for adults to help recovery from mental health problems, and help prevent the development of mental health issues, by working with nature. This is a Lewisham Local charity project supported by the National Lottery Community Fund. We are also hoping to make this space available to schools and also other community/ charity organisations.
Please note that entry isn’t via our gate in Riverview Park.
Head for no 77 Winsford Road SE6 4LT. Continue along Winsford Road towards the River Pool, on the left opposite the Bellingham Play Park head for the communications tower which is in the left hand corner of the council green space and at the end of the cricket ground. Our new woodland gate is there.
