I am delighted as Chair of the Friends to welcome you to our website. Bushy Park and Home Park are two wonderful large green oases in the south west corner of London. Feeling wild, they are natural places with ancient histories, fascinating heritage and superb wildlife. Both are Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) containing rare species. These are places to be enjoyed and conserved. Which is why the Friends exist, campaigning, supporting and protecting the parks, and enhancing visitors’ enjoyment with information, advice and guidance.
We are always pleased to receive feedback. You can contact us by clicking here.
Members and non-members can receive emails about events in the parks. To subscribe, please enter your email address below.
The joint first were Trees Silhouetted by Conor O’Donnabhain and Fluffing up the Winter Plumage by Jeannie Edwards.
A group of second place were Returning Home by Jeannie Edwards, Kingfisher by Ron Darbon, Swans at Sunrise by Ron Darbon and Early Morning Frost by Nick Osario.
Highly commended: Sun lit mist by Richard Gudge, New Growth by Mariola Marczuk and Portrait with a toothpick by Valerie Lavina
With more members our voice is stronger when we campaign to protect the Parks, and with more subscription income we can do more to provide information and education about the Parks, their wildlife and their history.
Join us today!
