A wildlife haven in Conway RecThe latest mini-film produced by Palmers Green Tales tells the story of how the pond in the recreation ground off Conway Road was restored by the Friends of Conway Rec. Following some repair work carried out by the council, the pond had become simply a barren stretch of water. The film describes the ingenious techniques used by the Friends to restore it to its former role as a wildlife haven.
An annual visitor is a female mallard, who hatches a brood of chicks, which she then walks down the road to Broomfield Park. So if you're in Aldermans Hill and you see her and her little ones trying to cross the road, it will be your opportunity to play lollipop lady or lollipop man!
