Chiswick Wildlife Group & Gunnersbury Triangle

Chiswick Wildlife Group is a local group of the London Wildlife Trust. They help to keep Gunnersbury Triangle local nature reserve open to the public by arranging:

• Volunteer Wardens for Tuesdays and Sundays 10.00-16.30 throughout most of the year.
  
• A summer programme of events - everyone welcome free of charge (but donations are appreciated).
  
• A summer warden on site daily Tuesday - Saturday between mid-June and September.

Gunnersbury Triangle Local Nature Reserve is always open. The entrance is opposite Chiswick Park tube station, and access is through a small pedestrian gate. Please: no dogs; no bicycles; children to be supervised by a responsible adult; no litter (dustbin provided in the entrance forecourt).
