CPRE nature and wildlife cycle exploration Sat Oct 7th

From the environmental charity CPRE (Council for the Protection of Rural England?) London. This Saturday they are running an nature cycle event in Dulwich Park.
 
It'll be a gently paced cycle starting from Herne Hill Velodrome, going on to explore all the beautiful nature of Dulwich Park in more detail and thereby boost everyone's knowledge of their local area. The event will be led by gifted writer, botanist and nature communicator, Leif Bersweden and everyone will be introduced to the wonderful trees and wild plants of south-east London.
 
 

By looking at everything from native and naturalised trees, to the tiniest plants sprouting from cracks in the pavement, you'll add to your knowledge of the local area, learn about the plants with which you share your home city, and gain an increased understanding and appreciation of London's plant life. Plants are just as crafty, determined and devious as animals are when they're after something, we just need to take the time to stop and notice them!

It is thanks to the help and involvement of the Linnean Society of London - that your guide will be Leif Bersweden, a writer, botanist and nature communicator with a face-down, bottom-up approach to watching wildlife. Leif grew up in Wiltshire where he taught himself how to identify the local flora and has been championing our wild plants and the joy they bring ever since. He is the author of The Orchid Hunter and Where the Wildflowers Grow.

This event is welcome to everyone, no matter their limitations, and would be especially beneficial for individuals who find it easier to cycle than walk! This event has been organised in partnership with Wheels for Wellbeing, a charity who have worked with thousands of Disabled children and adults who face barriers to taking part in any physical activity and have shown that anyone can enjoy cycling, given the right equipment, support and environment. An accompanying companion and other family members are also welcome

If you need an adapted bike fot this event, Wheels for Wellbeing can provide the cycling equipment you require. You'll need to contact them in advance to arrange a suitable bicycle that works for you. Please contact them to arrange this at [email protected] or 0207 346 8482 as soon as possible

Tickets are £5 per attendee for working adults or £2.50 if you are not working, over 60 or under 15. We want this event to be accessible to all so if that payment a barrier to you, please email [email protected]

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
