On a clear, dry evening after all the rain, a diverse crowd of around 30 people came to the Community garden to enjoy an outdoor cinema presentation of "PK", a light-hearted romance story of a naive alien visitor to Earth. Thanks to CPP for making this possible!
hanworth air park biodiversity project & LNPC* Ranger activity
LNPC* Ranger and Friend of Hanworth Air Park Sarah Houghton led a small team to carry out river sampling and insect/crustacean identifcation to assess the effect of the culvert on the Longford River in Hanworth Air Park. As expected, there was less life downstream of the culvert.
