The Royal Borough's Park Rangers promote awareness of the natural environment through a programme of events, walks and talks across the borough, and through providing educational sessions for school, youth and other groups. The service also offers support for local conservation & amenity groups, and opportunities for volunteer involvement. The Nature Centre is situated in an old stable block, originally part of the estate belonging to Braywick Lodge. This 19th century mansion house was demolished in 1969, however the stables were refurbished in 1989 to provide a centre for environmental activities in the Borough. The Nature Centre houses displays and exhibitions on wildlife, sustainability and local history; and has a large classroom for use by schools and other groups. The centre is only open to the public when events are taking place. |
