Enfield Council & the Friends of Enfield Chase invite you to come and join in for the continuation of the Landscape Recovery project at Enfield Chase.

Come along and help London breathe for the future, take an active part in the restoration of our landscape, meet like minded people, experience the beautiful outdoors, see some rarer wildlife and speak with knowledgeable staff who can provide insight into the project and how you can get involved. 

What are we doing?

The London Wildlife Trust have developed a “Woodland Condition Self-assessment" tool (WCS) for volunteer groups. We will be using the WCS to provide a assessment of the conditions for various aspects of the woodlands at Ferny Hill, Turkey brook wood and Brooke Wood, offering an indication of the improvements that could be made.

We are particular interested the impact of deer on the existing woodlands and how these will impact the new woodlands at Enfield Chase.

We will walk as a group from Botany bay to Turkey brook wood, then to Brooke Wood (3.8km round walk), we will then either walk or drive to Ferny hill wood.

What do I need to bring?

We will provide teas, coffees and biscuits to all our volunteers. Please bring water and something to eat for lunch (Botany bay farm shop is a great option for lunch). There is a toilet available on site. Please also dress suitably for the weather, wear long trousers if possible and bring good walking shoes! 

An induction briefing and a health and safety talk will be given at the start of every event. Parking is available at the farm for the duration of the event. A staff member or a member of Enfield Council staff will direct you at the farm.

If you have time a read through the guidance will help on the day
