Litter Pick - Downham Woodland Walk (SE London)

Join the Eco Around Community for a litter-pick walk in Downham, facilitated by Biljana.

Downham Woodland Walk is a local nature reserve and a narrow strip of mostly ancient woodland. It's part of the Green Chain Walk and stretches for about a mile. Rich in flora and fauna, it’s home to old oak and ash trees and a variety of birds.

The area is frequently enjoyed by Downham residents and their pets. While maintained by Lewisham Council, contributing to the nature reserve's additional clear-up would be much appreciated.

When:
Saturday, 30 May, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm

Where:
The litter pick will start at the Moorside Rd entrance to Downham Woodland Walk, and we’ll make our way through to the Oakridge Rd exit near Barnardo’s.

We are planning to have some optional drinks/food afterwards, most likely at the Beckenham Place Park.

How to dress and what to bring:
Appropriate footwear, no open-toed shoes and we recommend some waterproofs (just in case). We have some gloves, bin bags and litter pickers but feel free to bring your own and a refillable water bottle in case you get thirsty. Hand Sanitiser is also useful.

Updates:
Unless there is a heavy rain forecast, we will stick to our plans. Please check the event for updates.
