The strange things you find in a river (or pond) (Part 2)
This maybe isn't so much strange as unusual! She was found in one of the ponds in Sydenham Wells Park, but we are not sure who she is. Can anyone help? We don't know how long she has been there or where she came from, but we put her back carefully the same day.

Nature’s Gym changes due to frozen ground!
Unfortunately we have had to postpone the Nature’s Gym session at Deptford Park tomorrow. Tree’s (and volunteers who have to dig it) don’t like frozen ground very much and so we can’t plant them! Instead we will be going to Deptford Park on 8th March and Sydenham Wells Park on 15th March. The next few … Continue reading Nature’s Gym changes due to frozen ground!
