Wildish Club London - November Nature Wander
Details
Come wander a little wilder with Wildish Club!
Join Morgan and Hannah as we wander through Putney Heath, Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park, getting curious about the fungi, trees and the relationships between them.
This isn’t an expert-led nature walk. We’re creating a space for curious minds to come together, share what we know, and learn from one another. Whether you’re a seasoned nature enthusiast or simply someone who’s started noticing the world around you a little more, you’re warmly welcome.
Bring your field guides, books, apps or any resources you have, and let’s investigate what surrounds us.
Together, we’ll explore, observe and identify trees and any fungi we come across — we will not be foraging — while deepening our connection with the natural world.
We will be setting off at 12:15.
TOILETS: There should be public toilets available at Robin Hood Gate in Richmond Park, but please do consider your needs before the start of the meet up.
