Monthly bird walk and surveys at Walpole Park
We welcome volunteers and visitors back to Walpole Park for the monthly bird survey and walk. These take place on the third Saturday of each month.
The next one is therefore this Saturday, 17 July, 8am.
No need to book, just turn up. We meet by the café kiosk and the walk takes just over an hour.
No prior experience required. Our regulars are a friendly bunch and happy to share their knowledge.
You will need a pen if you want to record the species and if you have binoculars that would be useful, but not essential.
From April to October inclusive, we meet at 8am to start the walk.
From November March, we meet at 8.30am to start.

Chipotle are looking for local organisations to fundraise for!
Were looking to support our local communities via fundraising in our restaurants. These take place by identifying groups and organisations in the local areas to partner with and then deciding on the best date and timeframe to hold a fundraiser. We design a flyer that we can put in our orders for a few days leading up to the fundraiser to let our guests know. We encourage the group were partnering with to pass out flyers as well and post on social.
During the day and time of the fundraiser, guests come to the restaurant (this is in-restaurant only, not digital or delivery orders) and mention that theyre here for the fundraiser. They can either just mention this or bring in the flyer. Our team will then log the order as part of the fundraiser by hitting the fundraiser button at the till. A minimum of £150 must be raised in this time frame (this is about 15-20 people) and from that point on, we donate 33% of sales back to the group during the timeframe. So if there is £300 in sales during the fundraiser, the group will get £100. We will set the group up as a vendor and transfer the money directly into their account.
Here is our webpage HERE . If you are a local club, community, charity or third sector organisation who would be keen to use this opportunity as a method of fundraising, please contact Jennie Rivett to register your interest by 31st July jennie.rivett@londonsport.org.
