Our new spring gardening club on Wednesday mornings starts from 15th April. Come and help us look after and improve Southern Park and Mudlarks Boulevard for wildlife! We welcome anyone with an interest in gardening and wildlife gardening – spaces are limited so you will need to book ahead – more details below.
The Wednesday and Saturday conservation workdays are now taking a break until September 2026. This is to allow birds to nest, wildflowers to grow, and invertebrates and amphibians to complete their life cycle (small mammals such as wood mice also need a bit of peace and quiet). The Ecology Park is a small urban site with an amazing range of habitats within it, so we need to limit disturbance to the habitats during the spring and summer months as much as possible. A massive thank you to all the volunteers who have given up their time since September 2025 and taken part in the Wednesday, Saturday and corporate workdays to keep our habitats happy. We couldn’t do it without you and really do appreciate your support!
We are also looking for volunteers to join and help out with the Friends of Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park – take a look at the Friends page for the Ecology Park to find out more.
At the Ecology Park, we always need corporate teams in the autumn, winter and early spring to help maintain some of our most important habitats for wildlife. Tasks include reed cutting, marsh clearance, meadow cutting, shingle beach digging, willow coppicing, as well as unique tasks such as tern raft management and compost turning. At the moment, we especially need teams in January and February for willow coppicing – it’s warming and rewarding work! This is a great opportunity for businesses to help maintain the park’s unique biodiversity while fulfilling their team building aspirations.
For corporate groups, please email corporate-enquiries@tcv.org.uk to learn more about how to register and set up a team day. Please do also email us at gpep@tcv.org.uk if you want to find out more about organising a corporate workday at the Ecology Park.
