FAMILIES are being invited to take part in a new nature conservation project in Abbey Wood.

Embrace, a non-profit organisation, has launched the three month project after it was awarded £7,875 from the Big Lottery Community Wildlife grant.

It will be holding free activities at Lesnes Abbey Woods until January 29 next year.

The next event will be a nature photography walk on October 30 from 1pm to 4pm.

Glade clearing, which involves cutting down shrubs and pulling up invasive plants, will take place on November 6 from 1pm to 4pm.

Future activities will include a fungi walk, felling trees and wooden fence making.

For information about other events and to book a place, email john.c@myembrace.org or call 020 7274 9450 or 07984 662996.
