Use 67 minutes to take back The Wilds

July 16 – 09h00-14h00

Hosted by artist James Delaney – he says: “We’ll focus on clearing out dead wood, removing weeds, and planting a new agapanthus bed. You’ll be amazed at the difference a few hours of #MandelaDay work can make.”

What you’ll need to bring: gloves, cutting tools (saw/clippers/axe) & cake/biscuits for sharing.

James will be hanging an installation of 67 metal owls in a century-old forest, and says: “Please use the day to explore The Wilds – it’s safe and beautiful – and come check out the owls.”

There will be a coffee station from 9am at the main entrance on Joe Slovo / Houghton Drive (next to Roedean) and an info desk where you can pick up a map and find out where to do your Mandela Day work.
