Friends of Wimbledon Park have planned nature walks in the park over the next few months.
Next is a contribution to this year’s Birds in Greenspaces citizen science exercise: Dr. Dave Dawson will lead a walk for International Dawn Chorus Day, Sunday 3rd May, starting at the Home Park Road entrance to the park at 08:30am. Come and enjoy the range of bird song there. All welcome – no need to book.
We will also organise a morning walk to watch and listen to birds on 14 June – also starting at 8.30am at Home Park Road Entrance.
We’ve also planned another bat walk on 26 September, starting at 18.50, meeting at the watersports centre by the lake.
On Saturday 18th April, groups and communities across the UK took part in a UK-wide Day of Action for Nature, Parks and Green Spaces. The purpose was simple: to demonstrate, visibly and collectively, that people everywhere care deeply about the natural world and want to see it protected and restored. FOWP also put on an afternoon talk and tour, ‘Capability Brown and Wimbledon Park: A History Lesson.’
