Dear Friends of the Park,
With schools back and the rains come, it looks like Autumn will soon be here. The conkers are falling and the sloes are looking really good, so whether its fights with nuts on string or concocting some fruity gin, its all happening at the Park.
I thought you might like to hear about
A Fruitful Gathering which is the next and last in the Wildwood series of nature trails this year. Those who enjoyed an extraordinary evening in the park a month or so ago with owls and moths and bats are likely to enjoy next Sunday’s event. It begins at 12.30 at Resound Community Centre and will take a walk up Dibden Lane with Ed Drewett, who will show us the wild harvest in our hedgerows, then go into the allotment site and hear from some enthusiasts there about what they do and why. Finish by 1.30pm. See you there.
Also to say that our last orchard gathering of the year will take place on Saturday 26th of September from 10-12 as usual, when we shall complete preparation of our new herb bed.

I am thrilled to report the sighting of a kingfisher at the pond Emersons Green,was walking early one morning ,the sun flashed on an electric blue bird that could have only been a king fisher it flew up stream from the pond so quickly I was unable to see it again but will report if I spot it ..
Regards Sue A.
