Friends of Grove Farm – July Events

Friends of Grove Farm is running a number of events in July where you can help maintain this beautiful part of Ealing, and enjoy a day in nature.

Grove Farm is a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) and a Statutory Local Nature Reserve (LNR). It is a hidden urban gem which provides a biodiverse natural space in North Greenford. The deciduous woodland on Grove Farm contains broadleaf trees such as oak, ash, elm, hazel and blackthorn. Grove Farm has a particularly magnificent display of wood anemones in spring as well as native bluebells. It has rare trees including many wild service trees. All these species are indicators of ancient woodland. A stream runs along a valley through the site adding to its nature conservation interest.

Looking after the site is the work of an enthusiastic group of volunteers and trustees, from earthwork and pollinator surveys, to freshwater or forest health surveys. In July, Friends of Grove farm are runnign a number of events in July at Grove Farm where you can help maintain this beautiful part of Ealing, and enjoy a day in nature, with like minded people.
