Costons Lane Nature Reserve Bird Survey

The EWG 10th Annual Photography Exhibition
The Ealing Wildlife Group’s 10th annual photo exhibition opened on 3rd October at Walpole Park, celebrating the rich wildlife and beautiful green spaces of Ealing. Held on a beautiful Autumn day, this much-loved event in the EWG calendar welcomed many familiar faces as well as new visitors, all coming together to appreciate the natural world on their doorstep.
Proposed Troubadour Theatre in Walpole Park: our response
Ealing Wildlife Group are deeply concerned by the proposed plans to construct a 1,200-seat Troubadour Theatre in Walpole Park. To be clear from the outset, this is not an argument against theatre, culture or investment in Ealing. We love the idea of Ealing becoming an even greater cultural destination. But we should not have to sacrifice precious public green space and wildlife habitat to achieve it. We therefore stand alongside Ealing Parks Foundation in strongly opposing the proposed location of the Troubadour Theatre in Walpole Park.

Beaver Bulletin – July/August
These past months, our beavers have had lots of coverage both here in the UK and over the pond in the US and Canada! All were fascinated by the amazing work of our beavers, and the dams that they create have helped to stop flooding in both the lobby of Greenford Station and the local residential area.
