Wild Chiswick
For people with an interest in Urban Wildlife, specifically Chiswick, London.
A bit late notice, Dave Goulson will be talking online on Monday evening about his insect/bee research. He has written various books which are very knowledgeable and interesting reads. His latest book, Silent Earth, is an eye opener explaining how the drastic fall in insect numbers is already affecting our planet. Book via the link. I think he will present a very interesting talk!
Join us and Dave Goulson as he explains why insects are declining, and the consequences if we allow this to continue.
Yup, we have been drilling hedgehog highways again! Live in Grove Park or Strand on the Green? Then you are in hedgehog territory! Give us a shout on hogs@wildchiswick.com to talk about joining the hedgehog highway!
Amazing amount of life in the pond at the Staveley Rd wildlife allotment we take care of. Ponds are not just about newts and frogs (although we have those too!). These are dragonfly nymphs and ramshorn snails.
Here is the poster advertising our next talk on 13th November, 7pm, St Michael's Church, Elmwood Road with Dr Philip Baker from Reading University. Philip will talk about how some of our wildlife has adapted to cope with increased human contact and structural changes to habitats. I had an interesting discussion with him this week about the subject of wildlife and urbanisation. There is so much yet to be studied, with research that has been undertaken raising yet more questions. Really worth coming along to hear him talk. I feel it will result in lots of discussion and questions that he will find interesting, as well as us! Please share the poster with your Whatsapp Groups and others.
