Who are we? What is it?
Wild Cat Wilderness is a community green space in Catford coordinated by the Lewisham Local, which is a local charity. It is a natural wilderness off Catford Hill, which you can help shape and get involved in by volunteering. It is your community space where you can explore nature and the wildlife, play or relax in its peacefulness, learn new outdoor skills or crafts, share and enjoy the space with other local people of all ages, cultures, faiths and abilities. We are currently funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
How can I get involved?
There are many different ways you and your friends, neighbours and family can help develop this wonderful wild space. You really don’t need any particular skills but you might learn something new or share with others what you are good at. We have a project coordinator called Maria.
When are we open?
We are only open on certain days not all the time as we are used by local schools and other community groups. We generally have a weekly volunteering day every Thursday afternoon 12-3pm and Friday 10-1.30, weekend volunteering from the spring onwards, an activity/event some weekends plus additional activities during the school holidays. Check the What’s On page for times and details. All welcome and if you can let us know by booking then great.
