About this Event
We’ve had an exciting (almost!) two years of the Collective filled with youth-led workshops; from tree planting and bird box-making to learning about biodiversity policy and embroidery upcycling!⭐🌱
What better way to celebrate than another big party at the iconic Walthamstow Wetlands – whether you’ve become a regular at the Collective or you’re just finding out about us now, come along and join in!
This is more than just another event - it’s a chance to be part of a youth-led movement that’s all about protecting London’s wild spaces, getting creative, and having fun with like-minded people. Don’t miss out!
