Saturday 28th January 2023
It’s the annual RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch coming up the last weekend of January. James Newton will be leading a walk around Forster Park on Saturday the 28th (10am – 11am). It’s not just woodpigeons and bluetits, you’ll have a good chance of seeing redwings, coal tits, nuthatches and mistle thrushes – quite possibly up to 20 species, perhaps more. Bring binoculars if you have them. Everyone welcome.
Work on the children’s trim trail was finished in April 2022.
💚 In July 2022 it will be 100 years since Forster Memorial Park was opened for the people of Lewisham 💚
We would love to hear:
– your favourite memories
– your ideas and hopes for what you’d like to see and do in the park.
We look forward to celebrating and designing for the future of the park together.
