About the event
In celebration of London Rivers Week 2025 ('Quality rivers for all.'), join our friendly guides for a tour around the reserve where we'll explore the different aquatic habitats that make up Walthamstow Wetlands including our reservoirs, ponds and the Coppermill Stream. We'll delve into the different insects, birds and mammals that call these habitats home and look at the ponds we have created to help our water-dwelling wildlife.
This is a gentle walk around the reserve on paths - there may be some gentle inclines, strong stout footwear recommended. The walk will last approximately 1.5 hours and will be fully outdoors - so dress for the weather! Please bring some water and if you have binoculars do bring them, but it’s not essential.
This walk is for over 18s and young people over 12 (accompanied by an adult). Further information will be sent out prior to the event.
Donations to London Wildlife Trust are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.

Dogs
Please be advised that trained assistance dogs on duty are welcome, but in order to protect the sensitive habitat and drinking water supply, we cannot allow other dogs or pets of any kind on-site, as the wildlife may become distressed.
