Robyn Stern on this summer’s main event at Barnet Environment Centre

Flyer for the Summer Picnic at Barnet Environment Centre of July 2nd

Barnet Environment Centre is in Byng Road, Barnet, EN5 4NP.

Our main event this summer will be a family picnic day on 2nd July, 11 am – 2 pm.

People can picnic in the Centre garden – or inside if it is wet. Bring your own blanket and picnic.

There will be some activities, organised by our new teacher.

If the weather permits, we will do meadow-sweeping (as it is National Meadow Day on 1 July), and pond dipping.

You will also be able to do self-guided walks using the Sensory Trail and Tree Trail cards – or just have a wander.

Refreshments will be available (cash only)
