Event Calendar
Following the great Eels talk led by Thames21, we have another 2 other great online talks coming, this and Connecting people and wildlife with the floodplain.
On this online talk, Dr Phil Porter from the University of Hertfordshire will be putting the Brent in the wider context of global warming.
Dr Phil is a glaciologist who has spent the last 20 years recording Arctic ice loss and European glacial melt, and advocating for immediate action to bring emissions and water waste under control.
If you’re interested in taking part of this talk, please email ealinggreenwayers@gmail.com confirming you’ll join and they will share Zoom link details with you.
We thank our colleagues from Ealing Greenwayers River Action Group from our continued collaboration.
Come join the next of our volunteer days where we’ll be working to get our new nature reserve in shape! We will be doing several different tasks over the coming months depending on the weather but tasks will include digging the wildlife garden, planting plants and trees, path maintenance, brush clearing, habitat creation etc. On the day bring wellies (seriously bring wellies) and thick gloves if you have them though we do have plenty to share. (also any forks and spades would be useful as well!) The entrance to the reserve is off Ruislip Rd across from the Lidl Car Park, we have a sign on the gate! Click here to see a map and public transport information.
The Nature Reserve will be open to the public every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, so come on down and relax in this little natural paradise!
The Walpole Park Bird Walks hosted by Nigel Dodd of West London Birders and John Wells are every third Saturday of the month, meeting outside the café for an hour walk around the park. They start at 8am from April to October and then when the clocks change at 8:30am from November to March. Some of the birds seen are Great Spotted Woodpecker, Blackcap, Nuthatch, Goldcrest, Grey Heron, Stock Dove, Tufted Duck, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Nuthatch, Willow Warbler, Redwing, Mistle Thrush, Kestrel, and of course Little Owls!
An exhibition of photography to highlight the wonderful nature and wild spaces on our doorstep, celebrating the important relationships between people and local wildlife in Ealing!
The opening ceremony, where we announce the winners of the competition and unveil the photos, will be at the bandstand at Walpole park (see map for exact location.) We will have nibbles, wine and soft drinks and it’s always a fun get together in a beautiful setting!

Community:
We enjoy working with others and forging relationships with all stakeholders, groups and individuals working towards a common goal; the protection of our natural spaces and the life they contain
Conservation
We aim to highlight and protect our flora and fauna, and the natural habitats we are lucky to have on our doorsteps in Ealing
Collaboration
We aim to inspire, educate and foster new connections between local people, neighbourhoods and the natural world
We’re a friendly bunch and we’d love to see you at our events or at some of our volunteering opportunities. Check out our Events page to see what’s coming up.
