Our Purpose

• To provide education and learning opportunities for our members and the wider public, relating to all wildlife existing in the South London area.
• To raise awareness and promote the conservation and biodiversity of wildlife.
• To promote and raise awareness of sustainable foraging.
• To build awareness of how wildlife and its habitats are being impacted by a changing climate.
• To promote the health and wellbeing benefits of engaging with nature and the group’s activities.
• To contribute towards the records of wildlife in South London.
• To carry out all of the above in a way that is inclusive to the diversity of people in South London. We recognise that some people experience disadvantage and exclusion because of their identity. We strive to be an inclusive organisation that recognises and tries to overcome barriers to participation.

Events

We hold free events throughout the year, which are published on our Eventbrite page.

Every other month we go on a Wild Walk! At these events, we meet at a South London green space and walk for a couple of hours, stopping along the way to talk about what we’ve seen and get to know each other better. Someone from Wild South London will be on hand on the day to share a few facts and answer any questions you may have about things we see, but we encourage walk attendees to share their knowledge along the way too.

We also host more focused events and workshops and, as we grow, we hope to invite guest speakers and leaders to contribute their expert knowledge as well. If you are interested in working with us, please get in touch via the contact form below.

As a member you will receive notifications ahead of our events going live to the wider public on Eventbrite, and you'll have a say on what kind of events we plan in the future!
