Nest Box Building at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park.

Sunday 12th July, 10am - 1pm

This session is intended to help create Nest Boxes that will be placed across the Cemetery Park for next year's bird breeding season. We have already installed a total of 52 boxes across the site and have been monitoring them for eggs and chicks, ensuring we learn more about the breeding bird populations of the Cemetery Park. The session will take place in our covered yard, however please dress appropriately as although sheltered, we will be outside.
