Volunteering at Costons Lane Nature Reserve

Starts on 19 October 2024 at 10:00

Ends on 19 October 2024 at 14:00

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

Come and join our volunteer day!

We’ll be finishing clearing the flower beds ready for spring planting and will apply a mulch. We will also start work on opening up the meadow area with some light weeding of the willowherb, which is becoming invasive. As the weather is getting colder, we’ll be cleaning up the bird feeders and making sure these are well stocked.

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

Thank you!
