A wide range of activities on offer this weekend

It's Open Day on Sunday, July 1st, at the Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Reserve.

A wide range of wildlife activities (walks, stalls, raffle, pond-dipping & other craft activities for children) will be available, plus home-made cakes, refreshments and live music. 

Fun for all the family. 

2.00-5.00 pm. 

All events start at the Reserve entrance on Bollo Lane, acton, W4, 5LW opposite Chiswick Park Tube Station.

The Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Reserve is currently at the centre of a controversial planning project by the developer Blackstone, to build high-rise housing adjacent to the reserve.

Local groups campaigning against the decision by Ealing Council to grant planning permmission are writing to the Mayor of London, Boris Johnston, to appeal for the nature reserve to be protected. They also want local support in their letter writing campaign.

They are worried that the development will have an adverse impact on the Reserve. A number of celebrities, including actress Rula Lenska and David Bellamy, have supported them.
