As it is maximum 30 people, please only book if you can attend the date. All under 18's must be accompanied by an adult. Photos / video may be taken to document the walk so please let J D know on the day if you do not wish to be included.
The walk will go ahead apart from in extreme weather so please wear clothing and shoes appropriate for the conditions.
These walks are supported by Bow Arts.
The walk is in association with London Architecture Festival (1-30 June) #belonging
"The idea of belonging in this walk is from a multispecies perspective, how wildlife belongs in the urban environment. It will start at the 1960's Lakeside Centre, and explore the canals that wind through different decades of housing in Thamesmead to the unique haven of TUMP 39, a rewilded victorian munitions magazine."
Good Summer Birding!
