Getting there

For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!

    About this session

    The Friends of Kelsey Park help to maintain this lovely green space with monthly gardening sessions that benefit the creatures and plants that live there.

    We'll meet the team in the middle of the park, near the visitor centre, grab tools from the container, find out our specific task and get cracking.

    ⏰ Arrive at 9:30 and leave when you need to. An hour would be great. The friends team usually stick around until 12.

    🥊 Please bring gardening gloves.

    This task supports
    Friends of Kelsey Park
    Kelsey Park is situated in Beckenham, in the London borough of Bromley

    Today, the Friends of Kelsey Park have a membership of around 600 households and they provide the busy groups of volunteers, some of whom manage the Information Centre at weekends, others become involved in conservation work, particularly in the woodland areas. They help with the monthly “bird count” of native and migrating species each month. When it becomes necessary they liaise with the local wildlife rescue centres when injured birds or small animals are brought to their notice. They organise various activities in the park for children, the Easter Egg Hunt and the Bat Walks and for families and adults, the Dawn Chorus Walk and an occasional musical concert.
