• has a regular feature on the activities of the Wildlife Group in the Friends’ Bulletins and Newsletters

History of The Wildlife Group

A complete history of the wildlife Group has been written by Elaine Warrell in September 2017 and can be found here.

Wildlife Events

Events focused on wildlife take place throughout the year and we try to flag them up well in advance on this website and in our Bulletins and Newsletters.
However, sometimes opportunities arise between Bulletins so you should check the Coming Events section of this website and the Friends’ notice boards located outside the Park management office (by the Blackheath Gate).
