08-05-13 : Balsam bash and KUSU picnic - a winning combo!

It is that time of year again - the Himalayan Balsam invading our riverbanks was due for its annual clearance, and timed to perfection, we teamed up with KUSU Volunteering to combine it with their end of year social for 2013 - an indulgent summer picnic!

07-05-13 : First ever KU Biodiversity Volunteer of the Year award!

To mark the first Kingston University Biodiversity Action Group Volunteer of the Year award, we felt it was only right to recognise the outstanding dedication and leadership one Kingston University staff member has shown to a conservation project on campus over recent years.

04-05-2013 : Mini-Bioblitz: Kingston Hill wildlife discovery!

A crowd of 21 nature-curious volunteers explored the Kingston Hill campus on Saturday for all forms of flora and fauna in our annual Mini-Bioblitz. A delightful day of wildlife discovery was had by all!

The finds from our pond drew a crowd...

29-04-13 : Brilliant batty adventure along the Hogsmill!

Armed with bat detectors and a keen sense of anticipation, volunteers from Kingston University and the local area awaited sunset for the start of Monday night's bat walk along the Hogsmill River. And they were not disappointed as bats-a-plenty swooped in and feasted on insects.

Ready for the off, eager bat walkers gather at Knights Park.
