Getting Involved

Change things for the better by getting involved in practical work which helps to create new habitats, sympathetically manage existing ones or promote the enjoyment of Bromley's green and natural spaces. You can do this yourself at home, on your landholding, in your school or at your work place, with the help of friends, family and work colleagues. But , if you want to get involved with specific activities being run by a local organisation, check out workdays that are coming up, below. You will develop your practical skills and learn more about biodiversity at the same time!
