The Friends of Brockwell Park have been working with the Lambeth Council Biodiversity team on volunteering events to
improve Brockwell Park's value to wildlife.
We've had seven biodiversity volunteering events in 2025 - all highly successful.
The mounds and hollows in the new biodiversity area (the 'North Meadow') are beautiful,
as well as doing the important job of slowing the flow of water down the slope to help prevent flooding.
We've helped dig a new pond for amphibians, cleared a mass of invasive sedge and bramble roots around pond 3
and built dead hedges for land animals to lie low in over winter and damp refuges
for frogs, toads and other amphibians to shelter in.
It's all been very enjoyable and extremely satisfying.
We are very grateful to the volunteers - more than a hundred of them,
to Iain Boulton and Alex Draper of the
Lambeth Biodiversity team who helped organise the events and brought along
tools, gloves etc and to Laura Morland and Phili Cool from the FoBP Committee who took
overall responsibilty for organising the events.
