Dog Kennel Hill Open Space is a rare habitat in a highly built-up area - sandwiched between Camberwell and East Dulwich in London. Although small, it supports a variety of plants and animals including woodpeckers, cowslips and protected stag beetles.There are three main areas to the park: a wood, an open grassy area and a wild area. Each of these areas are worth exploring as they support a variety of species and you never know what you will see. The park is a well-loved haven for local residents and visitors to the nearby Sainsburys. In collaboration with the council, the Friends group have undertaken a series of planting projects including an orchard, a glad, native hedges and a wildflower bank. Well worth a visit!
