**FREE** Spring Walk this Sunday 24th April in Dog Kennel Hill Wood and Green Dale Fields. Led by the marvelous Daniel Greenwood of the London Wildlife Trust. Meet at 10:25 am by the picnic benches in DKH Wood (the park next to the Sainsburys cashpoints).


In past years we have seen kestrels, green woodpeckers, meadow ants, white throat as well as the usual suspects (blackbirds, tits, robins etc).


Come and see how the meadow is doing on Green Dale after its first mow in years.


**COMMUNITY PICNIC**

Then join us for a community picnic on Green Dale fields from midday. Come and show your appreciation of this beautiful green space at a time when it is under threat from development. Bring something to sit on, food to share and a football for a kickabout. We have the Champion Hillbillies making an appearance with their Southern (London) bluegrass sound.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
