Join us in Mile Cross to find out how to protect house sparrows and create sparrow-friendly gardens and neighbourhoods.
About this Event

House sparrows are highly adaptable, sociable birds who live on every continent except Antarctica! Once so numerous they were considered a pest, now their population in the UK is in severe decline. Join us in Mile Cross where sparrows still thrive and find out how you can create a sparrow friendly garden and neighbourhood. Become a sparrow champion! It’s not too late – by working together, we can make a difference to this iconic bird.

Location: The Common Lot Community Skill Sharing Hub 185 Drayton Rd, Norwich, NR3 2PG. What3Words: lights.piles.salsa. From here we will go to explore some sparrow hot spots on the historic estate.
