Friends of Railway Fields is a community group based at Railway Fields local nature reserve, Harringay, North London.
We usually meet on the last Saturday of every month. From 10am – 12:30 we have a practical conservation session (this can be anything from cleaning out the pond to removing tree saplings) with lunch from 12:30 – 1.00pm (please bring your own lunch, we’ll provide tea and biscuits!) And then from 1.00-2.00 we have our monthly meeting. You are welcome to stay for as long or as little as you like.
We are a new group and still finding our feet and thinking of projects to run this year, so if you are at all interested come along to one of our meetings (were all very friendly!) and we are always open to any suggestions.
Hi I would like to come along to the next meeting which I guess must be September 24th. I can help in a limited way with clearing and cleaning up (agility not what it was) and can also help with making cakes for open days
Hi Linda
Apologies for never replying to this – wordpress doesn’t email us when a new comment is posted!
Thank you for your help last weekend with the walk, hope you enjoyed!
Next meeting is Saturday 29th October, will be emailing details closer to the time.
Lovely walk today. Would love to get Involved in projects. Also i am wondering what the tall brick tower was once used for and is it currently accessable (I did see a door) ?
Thanks
Hi Matthew!
Nice to hear from you and glad you had a nice walk!
The tall brick tower is a victorian stench pipe – built to take the smell from the sewers above nose level. Not sure whether it is accessible, but you probably wouldn’t want to go in there!
If you would like to become involved in Railway Fields I will add you to our mailing list and we also have a meeting and practical conservation session on Saturday 29th October. From 10-12.30 we will be cutting down the wildflower meadow, we stop for lunch at 12.30 and then have our meeting at 1 for an hour. If you are able to make it you can come for as long or as little as you like.
Hope to see you there!
