Nature Vibezzz – who run regular forest schools teaching local young people in, and all about, the outdoors – have involved families in making bird boxes, insect hotels, pruning trees to let more light into the woodland, protecting wildflowers and planting trees to help stop littering. This summer, volunteers including local scouts planted 400 trees, removed over 100 sacks of rubbish, and made 4 bug hotels and a bird box in Knights Hill Wood.
Memory and heritage
The project is working to turn two sites into a community and environmental asset, and to collect and share local memories.
Archive training
Volunteers also took part in a training session at Lambeth Archives, ready to start researching facts for a new booklet to tell people about the project and its heritage.
