About the event

As part of the 'Reuniting Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood' project, we are offering free guided woodland walks for the local community.

Join us to discover more about the woods on your doorstep with Ishmael. Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood have a long and fascinating history so come along to find out more and enjoy some time in beautiful surroundings.

Ishmael currently works in conservation policy and his previous roles encompassed practical conservation and community engagement. He first recognised the contemporary importance of heritage during a research project he undertook with the Zanzibar government's heritage department. He has since enjoyed delivering guided walks on history and heritage in green spaces across London.

The delivery of the 'Reuniting Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood' project is made possible by our funders and partners: The National Lottery Heritage Fund, The Dulwich Estate, Southwark Council, The Kusuma Trust, Black Girls Hike, and Wanderers of Colour. This funding and these partnerships help to secure the future of the woods by bringing together the management of Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood under London Wildlife Trust.
