Volunteering at Costons Lane Nature Reserve

Ends on 28 September 2024 at 14:00

Events are listed in the following time zone: Europe/London (GMT +01:00)

Come and join our volunteer day!

On 28th September we’ll be focussing on the flower beds at the front of the reserve, working to remove perennial weeds and preparing the ground, ready to be replanted as a wildlife garden in the spring. We’ll also be caring for the hedgerow by stripping back the bindweed which is currently growing through it to allow the shrubs more space and light to grow.

You can visit our oasis of calm in this little natural paradise. 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!
