Today Harrow Nature Heroes were supporting the good work done by the volunteers at Newton Farm Ecology Park, a little known natural haven, in Rayners Lane. The team there regularly give up their Saturday mornings to maintain the site.

We ran creative activities including: experimenting with Tie Dye using natural dyes made with beetroot and Alder cones; transient art using leaves and seeds and, what caught the imagination of the children was making leaf-people and their families.

We had a lovely time despite the torrential rain! Leslie and the team made apple juice using an apple press and loads of the apples that have grown in the park. Many thanks to the Bolsover family for all your hard work and dedication. It is much appreciated.

Yesterday some of our intrepid explorers from Harrow Nature Heroes set out to discover what creatures lay in the wilderness of Roxteth Park. They were fearless in the face of poor weather conditions, and nothing could deter them from their search for the predators hiding in the grass! This is what they found: Crickets with long antennae, Honey bee, Ziegiella spider, Ladybirds and Rosemary beetles, Box tree moth, Carder bee and Humans! Can you guess which one is which?

Thank you to Emma Hutchings for the lovely photos.

We were up before dawn today to watch the sun rise and listen to the birds as they greeted the day. It was so lovely to be to be with a group of such enthusiastic people and get to appreciate nature in all its glory. Thank you to you all for making it such an excellent start to the day.

It was lovely to be back doing a Harrow Nature Heroes event and seeing some of our nature loving friends. Yesterday we gathered in Stanmore Common to look at pattern and colour. Such a beautiful place to relax in nature
