Community Volunteering @ Peckham Rye Park

This 113 acre green space boasts recreational grassland, ornamental gardens, a lake and a woodland area, as well as an abundance of wildlife.

We welcome volunteers to support us in restoring Peckham's Japanese Garden, mainly its ponds and waterways, in order to improve aesthetics and access, and provide better habitats for wildlife.

This is an exciting opportunity to help transform a particular area of a much loved green space, to meet new people and pick up some conservation skills.
