These walks are aimed at people who would like to find out about wildlife in Thamesmead throughout the year, walking in nature together. Please bring any binoculars and/or cameras so you can view some of the birds up close. Each participant will receive a J D Swann stamped notepad and drawing materials to document what is seen along the route. There will be a brief review of what has been spotted at the end of each walk, no need for any specialist knowledge, all welcome.
The Practicalities
The walk will go ahead unless there is a serious (red) weather warning. Please wear weather appropriate clothing and footwear. Wherever possible the walk will be on pedestrian paths, but we will be walking on grass and there will be some mud along the route especially by some of the canals and on the old golf course.
Suitable for families but all under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult. Please be aware the walks will be photographed/filmed, please let J D know if you do not wish to be documented.
Limited availability so please only book if you are able to make the date so that tickets remain for those who can.
Look forward to walking with you on 6 September.
