Groundwork London is delivering a FREE programme of ‘Action for Nature’ workshops in parks of Waltham Forest.
We delivered the summer session workshops in the months of August and September- focusing on key wildlife themes such as bees, butterflies, bats and birds, and what you can do to help them thrive! Each workshop inspired taking ‘action for nature’ at home!
Now, take ‘Action for Nature’ this Autumn!
This phase is all about hedgehogs and hibernation! In the months of October and November, come along to discover what it’s like to be a hedgehog in an urban environment, and what you can do to make your neighbourhood hedgehog-friendly.
Please find below the detail on the different sessions:
H is for hedgehogs- Family session
Our 1.5-hour family workshop is coming to Ridgeway Park, Langthorne Park, Henry Reynolds Park, Stoneydown Park, the Highamsand Lloyd Park.
Can you snuffle and shuffle through the leaves and roll up like a hedgehog? Discover how hedgehogs build a Winter shelter – known as a hibernaculum – by making one yourself! Then create your own hedgehog to take home using natural materials.
Take action at home using the help guide provided at the workshop to make your neighbourhood hedgehog-friendly. We will also hand out instructions for making a recycled draught excluder, so you can keep snug and hibernate like a hedgehog this Winter!
