🌿💧 FREE guided walk this Saturday: Nature on Swanscombe Peninsula

This Saturday, join us, Tibbalds and Save Swanscombe Peninsula for a walk around Swanscombe Peninsula, home to important habitats for wildlife. We'd love to hear what you've seen and noticed there.

We'll be heading out to Broadness Creek and Black Duck Marsh, looking at the Peninsula's wildlife and habitats along the way, and talking about where intervention could help and where it's better to leave nature alone. 💬

🥾 Around 2.5 hours on unpaved paths and uneven terrain
🐕 Children and well-behaved dogs on a lead welcome
