Improve your fitness by taking part in conservation activities in nature reserves and parks in Lewisham. Nature's Gym is free and fun - and no experience is needed.

Sessions take place every Thursday, and once a month on a Saturday from 11am-2pm.

We invite people with a range of abilities, as there are usually a variety of tasks to carry out. We provide tools and refreshments and have a mid-session tea break. Come and see how you could become fitter and healthier by doing something positive for your local environment.

To get a taste of what the volunteers do, past projects and for more information, please visit the Nature Conservation blog.

Children under 16 are welcome but should be accompanied by an adult. Please come dressed for the weather.
