The Friends of Dacres Wood write
This Saturday, from 1.00 to 4.00, is our first “last Saturday of the month” Open Day at Dacres Wood Nature Reserve.
As well as just having a look round this rather special local space, we hope visitors will take the opportunity to meet members of our committee who will be around, and learn more about what we do. In particular, we’re hoping to see artists from Sydenham and other local festivals thinking about using the reserve as a place to show their work.
We will also be laying on some activities. New Friends committee member, and local Mum, Dani is planning a frogspawn themed egg hunt and an activity in the courtyard too for both kids and adults
They will also be doing some conservation work – marking, maybe digging up invasive species such as cherry laurel, and getting a wheel barrow to move some rubbish dumped over a back fence – so volunteers to help with this welcome.
The paths round the pond are still flooded, and other paths are a bit muddy, so practical footwear please – although we do have eight pairs of adult wellies, and three for kids we can lend!
