In March 2022, SLT were delighted to partner with London Wildlife Trust, as part of our Nature Programme. SLT are running visits and guided walks to this hidden gem of natural wildlife, twice a month. Each visit focuses on a different theme each time, such as wildfowl; pond life; flora and fauna, or a woodland circle meditation. We also see how the site changes with each season and what’s new to discover. There is something for everyone to enjoy. Read more
