A Natural Resource: Volunteers
12th June 2022
Starts & Ends: Essex Wildlife Trust centre, Langdon Hills
Booking for this walk is now closed but you can follow the route on your own.
In partnership with local volunteers, during this walk we celebrated Thurrock’s green spaces and those that help to maintain them for others. A circular lake side nature-filled walk starting and ending at the new Essex Wildlife Trust (EWT) centre at Langdon Hills.
We were led by local volunteers on an explorative and engaging tour of the site and its impressive community garden.
