Join us for hands-on landscaping sessions at Abney Park Cemetery.

Thursday 9:30am-12:30pm

Join the Abney Landscape Volunteers, a passionate volunteer group dedicated to maintaining the wild beauty of Abney Park Cemetery. As one of London’s most historic and biodiverse spaces, Abney is a haven for wildlife, and your help is essential in preserving its unique woodland ecology.

What You’ll Do:

Help with essential landscaping and conservation tasks

Support the natural woodland by clearing invasive species

Maintain paths and create a welcoming space for visitors

Work alongside like-minded nature lovers in a friendly, rewarding environment

What to Bring:

Heavy-duty footwear – you'll be working off-path on uneven terrain

Clothes you don’t mind getting muddy

Enthusiasm for nature and community!

No experience needed – just a love for the outdoors and a willingness to get stuck in. Come along and make a difference in one of Hackney’s most treasured green spaces!
