Buzzing with Life: Our Pollinator Garden in Woodcock Park

Our Pollinator Garden in Woodcock Park is buzzing with life! 🐝🌸 It’s amazing to see bees flocking to the colourful blooms — a small but powerful step in supporting local biodiversity and creating a thriving habitat for pollinators.

Brent Parks Team were very helpful in supplying additional litter picking equipment for our many volunteers and they will pick up all the rubbish we have collected later today.

Bat Walk

Did you know we have resident bats in our incredible park. The 3rd Kenton Scouts and members of the community joined naturalist Simon Braidman and Chair of Friends of Woodcock Park, Joy Rickman on an exciting batwalk in the park at dusk on Friday 2nd May, 2025. It was wonderful to see all the bats flying around the park to catch their prey.

Pond

We have an exciting new project in the park. The Conservation Volunteers have been working in the park to dig a pond to hold some of the flood waters that accumulate in the park. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to finish the project. We are working with Brent Council to find a resolution to finish the project.

Rough Sleeping

A rough sleeper has been discovered in the wildlife corridor that runs adjacent to the Wealdstone Brook in the park.

AGM

Our annual general meeting is taking place at the Harrow District Masonic Centre, Northwick Circle, Harrow HA3 0EL on June 4th 2025 at 8pm.
