Hi Friends of the Park

I am delighted to report that our  May 12th Emersons Green Festival of Nature programme is now published.

We have several events led by our local naturalist Ed Drewitt, all designed to help us appreciate the natural life in the park. Early risers can join in the 8am ‘Discover the Birds’ session, which is designed for adults, while a similar, but shorter event for families is being held at 10am. Ed will also be showing us the trees at 12 noon and offering pond dipping at 3pm.

In addition, we have a set of activities for children (with a responsible adult) led by our local cub leaders Amparo and Anna while Martin Brice and staff from Emersons Vets will be on hand to talk to you on the theme of ‘Our Pets, Park and Nature.

We will be taking a tour of the orchard at 2pm where the trees are just now coming into bloom and I will show people the range of plants we have there.

Check out the whole programme and please join us. Note that three of the Ed Drewitt events require prebooking through Eventbrite, links are on the programme. If you can help publicise the programme through your own contacts and social media, that would be very helpful.

Now all we need is good weather!

Finally a note to those who would like to help with the orchard. Our first proper session this year will be the week before the Festival on Saturday May 4th at 10am. Please come if you can and help us get the orchard ready.
