Biodiversity Action Team Waltham Forest

An activity with Biodiversity Action Team (East London)

Activity date: Tuesday 17th March 2026 to Thursday 19th March 2026

Start time: 10:00
Finish time: 15:00

Activity description

We're going to be carrying out a trial programme for a natural way of controlling Oak Processionary Moth by creating 3 wildflower beds as nectar sources to support tachinid fly activity. The flies lay an egg in the OPM caterpillar which hatches and eats the caterpillar from the inside. If the trial works, it will be rolled out across the borough where OPM has become a problem.

Meeting place

Meeting close to the Parks Entrance.
