the conservation volunteers @ the paddock
The Paddock is an 8-acre triangular greenspace located in Tottenham Hale within
the London Borough of Haringey (LBH). It is bordered by the river Lea to the
north-west and north-east, and on the south by Ferry Lane road. The site is made
up of a diverse mix of habitats including woodland, scrub, meadow, two small
wildlife ponds as well as the river and its surrounding margins. This provides
the potential to support a range of mammals, birds, insects, and plants. Being
situated close to the Lee Valley Park, Walthamstow Wetlands and Tottenham
Marshes makes the Paddock a valuable part of a patchwork of local green and blue
spaces. The site is a valuable place for the local community, with a grassy open
space with picnic benches and a network of pathways and seating areas, it offers
an area for people to get outdoors, exercise, relax or spot some local wildlife!
