A peek inside nature
 Join us on Friday, 12 April between 1.30pm and 4.30pm for a first look at Northcote Nature Reserve, TW7 7JQ. The Reserve, home to a variety of species, has features such as a tidal inlet and wildflower meadow, and sits alongside the River Crane.
This is a chance for the local community and Friends of Northcote Nature Reserve volunteers to explore the nature reserve in advance of its official opening weekend this June. The Lampton Services Countryside Ranger team will be there to support attendees and provide more information about the location and upcoming volunteering sessions.
Drop by on the day and bring a pair of gardening gloves for some weeding and dead hedging preparation.
