Habitats Group Review 2023
The Friends of Broomfield Park Habitats Group has published its review of 2023, summarising work done during the year and wildlife species observed.
Annual maintenance of the wildflower meadow and wetlands took up the majority of time and effort in 2023, several trees and wildflower plugs were planted and a log-pile and nettle patch created to enhance habitats. Overall 43 different kinds of wildflowers were identified, as well as 18 species of butterflies. Several rare birds were also observed in the park throughout the year.

Friends of Broomfield Park were delighted to take part in The Big Draw Festival 2026, joining thousands of organisations around the world celebrating the joy, creativity and accessibility of drawing. This year’s theme, “Make a Mark”, invited everyone to explore drawing as a way of seeing, thinking and connecting — not just creating a finished picture. The event was a great success, with lots of people turning up to unleash their creativity and enjoy trying something new. CLICK TO READ MORE AND SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEO OF THE EVENT
