Maintenance of natural play features at Benhill Road Nature Garden in Camberwell SE5 7QS

An activity with Biodiversity Action Team (South London)

Activity date: Tuesday 7th April 2026

Start time: 10:00
Finish time: 16:00

Activity description

We return to the Nature Garden to undertake some much needed maintenance on the natural play walkway we installed last January. Unfortunately some fungus has gotten into the underside of the play beams in between the bark layer and the inner wood, so we will be removing the bark and treating all of the timbers with the appropriate fungicide and wood preserver.

Meeting place

On site from 10.00am.
