About this Experience

Join us for a walking tour through North London wildlife corridor with other eco-conscious travellers, take part in environmental action and experience a part of London most tourists don't get to see! We'll spend just over three hours and cover around four miles, moving between three extraordinary green spaces: Woodberry Wetlands, Edible Landscapes London in Finsbury Park, and the Parkland Walk nature reserve. We'll start with a guided tour of Woodberry Wetlands from a London Wildlife Trust ranger, a site that represents an important win for nature against developer, which was opened in by Sir David Attenborough. We continue on to Finsbury Park to Edible Landscapes London, a community forest garden that has been showcase the benefits of permaculture for over 10 years, supporting their seasonal work to turn fallen leaves to leafmould - natures compost. We'll take a short walk through the park to Parkland Walk, walking along the abandoned railway line turned nature reserve, with the option to pick up any plastic pollution we see along the way. After a quick look at the eerie railway tunnels, now home to a colony of bats, we'll finish at The Boogaloo in Highgate for a drink and debrief. This is a small group tour of just ten people so we can join the partner organisations' existing activities for you to see them in action, and intimate enough that you'll get to know the people you're walking with. These events are designed for eco-conscious travellers who want to meet like-minded people while they're away, learn from community environmental initiatives they wouldn't otherwise encounter, and give something back to the places they visit. The knowledge you pick up from a permaculture forest garden or a wetland saved from developers by local campaigners can all be put into action at home.
