Lavender Pond Nature Reserve

Pond dipping here tomorrow afternoon 2-4pm, check out some newts and find out what else lives in our ponds!

With the days getting shorter spring feels a little way off, but why not plan ahead and make a school booking with us for 2025?! #outdooreducation #Southwark #nature

We’ll be closed next week, back the beginning of September(!) Have a great bank holiday everyone!

Free pond dipping morning next Tuesday 10 til 12.30

Come and help us out with surveying the reserve next weekend as we take part in the City Nature Challenge! A great chance for adults to get a go at pond dipping!! #citynaturechallenge #ponds #tcv #southwark #se16

Pond dipping postponed until Friday! We’ve closed for today due to the high wind gusts, we’ll have pond dipping on Friday when it looks to be much more spring weather! #se16 #schoolholidays #ponds #southwark

We're closed for the next couple of weeks, but will be back with a free pond dipping day for the Easter holidays on 10th April. Come along and see the difference two weeks in Spring can make!

Spring!! The frogs are back and spawning, so why not come along to our free amphibian evening from 5pm today and learn more about them and watch them in action

Spring is on the way, which means frog and toad spawn! Join us on the 6th March for a free amphibian evening to learn all about these fun little creatures! #se16 #southwarknature #frogspawn #amphibians #ponds

That’s us done for the year, see you in 2024

A great chance to learn about fungus this Sunday on our free guided walk from 12 until 2 #mushrooms #Southwark #nature

A lovely sunny autumn day for planting bulbs! Find us in the woodland from 10.30-2.30 today! #halfterm #rotherhithe

Bulb planting here on the Monday of half term (23rd October) 10.30-2.30

Recycling's our theme for next Thursday. Last session of the summer holidays, that went quickly!!

Still a couple of hours left to come and see some miniBEASTS here, we're not hunting through traffic as the last post might have suggested

Come along for a minibus hunt at Lavender Pond this Thursday. We'll also be making clay minibeasts to take home! #summerholidays #se16

Sun's out, we'll be here until 2

Pond dipping next Thursday! Come and see what's living in and flaying round the pond from 11-2!

Next Thursday it's all about colour. We'll be making art with different things found around the reserve and be playing colour bingo trying to spot all the colours here! #se16 #summerholidays #southwark

It's birds tomorrow for our summer holiday activity, 11am to 2pm. Step free access for scooters and buggies via the entrance on Salter Road
