Tree down in Whyteโ€™s wood. Please do not use main path till the tree surgeons have assessed the damage as we suspect the whole tree is a danger to the public. Thank you to the two ladies who alerted us and called Bromley Parks

What a Fantastic day we had. 800 people came & enjoyed a day of plants & pups. We had 69 dogs in the arena & a busy Gardening Club stall selling plants. A huge thank you to our volunteers who worked their socks off to make this a success. Could not have done it without them.

Helpโ€ผ๏ธ Sadly the end of term celebrations included pouring glue and sticking hair onto our table tennis tables. If you have any professional experience in removing these kind of things from surfaces please get in touch.

Why is the grass by entrance to the Rec. not mowed? Hedgehogs use grass in their nests, they also make day nest amongst long grass. Theyโ€™ll also feed on caterpillars that use the grass as a food source. We call it our Hedgehog Highway & hope weโ€™ll see hedgehogs using it very soon

The annual pitch renovations has begun in #chislehurstRec These works should take about 3 days but can be walked on immediately. So no closure at all. However do be mindful of the the heavy machinery moving up and down.

How do I get rid of Yorkshire fog, is the first thing that comes up if you Google this beautiful softly hairy perennial grass which grows in our bee corridor in Walden Rec. ๐Ÿ It is a great food plant for caterpillars, and we think it lovely for that reason alone ๐Ÿ’š

Happy 11th birthday to the Boating Bears ๐Ÿฅณ In 2012 Will created a much loved masterpiece in Whytes Wood. ย Taking his chainsaw to an oak that had been felled following a lightning strike many years before, he transformed the enormous trunk over 1 1/2 days into the Boating Bears.

Super productive morning yesterday with Akela Judy, Cubs, Gary, Barbara & Mai. We cleaned the grass from around Jennyโ€™s memorial rowan and other rowans in the Redhill Fence hedge. Planted a new hazel and weeded, mulched & watered phew!

We are beyond upset with what has happened to our remembrance display in Chislehurst Rec. Such a lack of respect for us and what it stands for ๐Ÿ’” We will try and salvage it. #lestweforget
