Description

🌿 Volunteer Day at Enfield Chase – Landscape Recovery Project


Enfield Council and the Friends of Enfield Chase invite you to join us as we continue the Landscape Recovery project at Enfield Chase.


Come along and help London breathe for the future. Take an active role in restoring our landscape, meet like‑minded people, enjoy the beautiful outdoors, spot some of our rarer wildlife, and speak with knowledgeable staff about the project and how you can get involved.


🌲 What Will We Be Doing?


Working together in groups, we will walk along sections of the deer fence and undertake essential repairs. The deer fence protects newly planted trees from overgrazing, allowing them to grow without browsing damage. Your help is vital to support the success of our young woodland.


🎒 What to Bring

  • Water and your own lunch
  • Weather‑appropriate clothing
  • Sturdy boots or wellingtons
  • Please note: there are no toilet facilities on site

We will provide tea, coffee, and biscuits for all volunteers.


An induction briefing and a health & safety talk will be given at the start of each event.

Parking is available at the farm, and a member of Enfield Council staff will be present to guide you.
