EWG@Costons Lane Summer BioBlitz & Plant Sale!

Come join the next of our volunteer days where we’ll be working to get our new nature reserve in shape! It’s Bioblitz Time! Join us in discovering just what lives in our new nature reserve! We will be recording and observing all kinds of plants, insects, animals and birds. We’ll be submitting records from our BioBlitz to London’s biodiversity database. If you’re a beginner or experienced naturalist, anything you see will be important! We need bug hunters, bird watchers, plant specialists, and bat watchers! There is a path now so we can get in and really have a good poke around, but there are a lot of brambles so sturdy shoes (and possibly wellies) and long trousers are recommended.
You don’t have to come for the full 12 hours, just pop in when you can for as long as you want and let’s see what we can find! The entrance to the reserve is off Ruislip Rd across from the Lidl Car Park, we have a sign on the gate! There will also be tea/coffee/cocoa, biscuits, and looking at the weather forecast we will also have cold water on hand but it’s a good idea to bring your own as well!

We’re also having another wildlife-friendly plant sale! Come on down for Echium pininana, an incredible bee magnet with 2-3m high spikes of blue flowers, Achillea, Evening Primrose, Verbascum, Echinops and more to entice plenty of pollinators to your garden. Donations of plants to raise funds for the group are also welcome!
