Trees on Dawsons Hill

Yes. I know another member Flower was trying to raise interest but there was little response when I checked with her. The council have apparently put aside ?1000 for tree planting and are interested in created wild flower/meadow planted areas, but I am unsure when this will happen. If you want to PM me, we can maybe arrange a visit and discuss what could be done?

I'd like to help but want to know who's in charge, and under whose auspices any action would take place. Is it a council initiative? Does it work alongside the work fl0wer does? Even just picking up litter as you stroll around up there is a start.

The figure is actually ?2000, and the grant is for further planting and maintaining trees up there to create a mini arboretum, and recreate the orchard which used to be there.

The plan is to restrict the trees to natives, of which there are already many, so if anyone has views on how to further this project, which is being done in collaboration with Southwark Parks Dept, get in touch, and maybe we could get together over a pint (or two!).

By the way Dimples, there is already a quince, and there used to be a mulberry, and a crabapple, both of which were vandalised. Unfortunately a certain amount of ill will and ignorance towards plants seems to exist in some people. Not alot we can do about that.

Any updates on this? I walked by today and there are large areas fenced off and ready for planting / possibly planted up already. The orchard hasn't been touched though. It'a cow parsley heaven at the moment. I also noticed a spectacular oak on Donkey Lane. Most likely an old boundary tree.

    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it? 
    • Prayed in aid?!
