Until Thursday 10th January 2013     11am - 3pm ; Cressingham Ridge

Planting of almost 800 metres of native hedgerow along the Cressingham ridge on the western side of Brockwell Park continues in 2013, with volunteer sessions taking place Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout January and February. This weeks volunteering sessions are on the 9th and 10th of January!

This hedge will be the longest, newly planted hedgerow in Lambeth!

Funding from Biff Award and Veolia Environmental Trust has enabled Brockwell Park Community Partners with the Trust for Conservation Volunteers to make this happen.

Hawthorn, Cherry plum, Hornbeam, Field Maple, Spindle, Dog rose and more will provide food and nesting sites for birds whilst supporting bees, butterflies, small mammals, amphibians and insects plus an all year round colourful hedgerow for park visitors to enjoy.

If you would like to get involved in helping to prepare and plant this very special hedgerow then do join us. Contact: thoare@lambeth.gov.uk

Buy Christmas gifts from over 30 different sellers all across Herne Hill. There will be carol singing and music while you shop and a festive air for all!

I will be making green willow festive trees at this local event, do come and have a look. My trees are a brand new idea, and can be used in the garden afterwards as a plant climber.

There will be lots of other stalls, art and craft, vintage and retro and refreshments.

Lambeth is planning some public realm improvements on Cambria Road between Northway Road and Coldharbour Lane and LJAG is hosting a consultation event. We really need to know what you think. The lovely people from the Cambria pub will be laying on a mulled fruit cup and mince pies and mosaic artist Tamara Froud is laying on a workshop for children.

Lambeth and LJAG are also working on a masterplan for the whole of the Loughborough Junction area. We have appointed architects DSDHA as our masterplanners and they will be on hand to start the big conversation about the future of Loughborough Junction. So even if you don't live close to the Cambria Road we would love to see you too.
