Get Involved

Volunteer

There are a number of ways in which you can get involved at Garthorne Road. You could either volunteer through Nature’s Gym or maybe help by opening up the site so that local people can visit.

Friends Group

Friends groups are made up of volunteers who wish to have a say in how their local parks and nature reserves are maintained, developed and used.  Some of these groups are constituted and organise entertainment and conservation activities as well as apply for funding to make improvements.  They work in partnership with the local authority and Glendale (Park User Groups).  There are already a number of Friends Groups in Lewisham which help the Council out in a number of ways.

Garthorne Road Friends Group

An Friends Group for Garthorne Road as been established since 2016 and have been manging the site it to increase the biodiversity we have plenty of plans for the future, these include helping the Nature Conservation Team at Lewisham Council manage and open the site on a regular basis. They also help to carry out a number of surveys (butterfly, wildflower) and lead guided walks.

If you are interest in joining the  Friends Group, please contact the Friends.

Schools

We are also keen for schools to use the site and if you are a school and are keen to get involved, please contact Lewisham’s Nature Conservation Officer who will be able to help. More information about how schools can get involved on Lewisham site can be found on their blog.
