For the moment, Camley Street Natural Park in King's Cross is temporarily closed to the public while we construct a new visitor and learning centre.

As building work continues, wildlife is thriving at the park. July and August are months in which you can see many beautiful, colourful dragonflies and damselflies, and this year has been no exception. This common darter was spotted on site.

There are also many butterflies to be found, like this beautiful holly blue,

This common frog was spotted by Charlie, our Keeping it Wild Trainee.

With additional health and safety procedures in place, we have continued to deliver socially distanced volunteering sessions for two separate groups which take place every Thursday.

Conservation work has focused on installing a willow barrier fence along the Regents canal side of the reserve, work and planning around the fernery and management of invasive species on site and wildlife surveying.

After the turbulence caused by Covid-19, our contractors have finished the roof on the new visitor centre and there much progress has also been made inside of the building.

Please keep an eye on our social media for future updates!
