Come and join us!We will be digging some leafmold into our wildlife garden area to help manage some of the issues we have with the site becoming water-logged in winter and drying out in summer. Once that is done, we will start planting up the area with some pollinator friendly plants – we will continue adding extra plants over the next few months as and when they are available. We will also spend some time managing the couch grass and other dominant species that tend to swamp out the diversity in this area.
We also have some shed roofing material on site that we will repurpose as reptile mats and, if we have time, we will look to take some willow cuttings to plant up a part of the hedgerow that has died back due to persistent winter flooding.
Everyone is welcome, whether you want to help out with the work or come down and enjoy the reserve at your leisure. We have a bird hide, several ponds and wetlands, a small wood, a wildlife garden, and a sunny deck to sit back and relax with a cup of tea.
You could spot foxes, woodpeckers, slow worms, newts, frogs, spiders, insects, dragonflies, butterflies, Red Kites, all manner of pondlife and bats at twilight.
The gated entrance with an EWG sign is on Ruislip Road East across from the Lidl Car Park, between 61 Clifton Road and 31 Costons Lane.
All under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
We’re a volunteer-run group and all our events are made possible by members who generously and enthusiastically give their time and expertise.
We believe access to nature should be free for everybody but if you want to support us with these events, you can donate here https://ealingwildlifegroup.com/donate/.
Thank you!
