Ladywell Fields Orchard Volunteer Session - Monday 27th August - 10.30 am -12.00 noon
The plum trees in the orchard would benefit from a late summer prune, which will stimulate the trees to produce fruit next year. We have therefore planned another work day for Monday 27th August. Please come along to help and maybe learn something new about tree maintenance. Rendezvous at the orchard in the south end of Ladywell Fields, near the Bournville Road entrance. Even if it is warm, covered shoes are a good idea as there are thistles around the trees. Under 16s only with close supervision. Please bring your own (sharp) secateurs if you have them, but some tools will also be available to borrow.
Please email ladywellfields@yahoo.co.uk if interested, so we can gauge
numbers. Hope to see you there.

London Rivers Week launch 2018 on Sunday June 24, 12-3pm
Ladywell Fields is now recognised one of the capital’s best riverside locations. This years London Rivers Week launch and Citizen Science Showcase will be held near the Good Hope Café in the North Field.
This is a family-friendly celebration of London’s rivers with free fun activities, enabling you to discover and explore the Ravensbourne and learn about exciting river projects all across the city:
Londoners who value their rivers and want to find out more about the secrets of the 600km network across the capital can connect with them in more ways than ever before. The week, now in its third year, has the theme of ‘Valuing Water’ and will showcase some of these new ways the public can get involved, including through plastic litter picks, collecting plastic data, monitoring eels and dragonflies, and by test driving prototype pollution-testing lab boats. Otters, trout, bats, kingfishers and eels all use London rivers - but they need help from the public to survive and thrive, in the face of plastic pollution, sewage and the impacts of climate change.
A full list of London-wide events can be found at www.thames21.org.uk/londonriversweek.
