Please bring along a packed lunch, appropriate footwear and a pair of gardening gloves.

For all FoSPA events, under 18's must be accompanied by their own responsible adult at all times. We can support DoE Awards if capacity allows.

For all Park Ranger led activities, Birmingham City Council policies apply.

If it’s your first session, please email us ahead of the session at info@fospa.org.uk. We then know we’re looking out for a new face and can confirm the meeting point with you as this can change each session.

After a your first session, if you'd like to come back again, we ask for volunteers to become FoSPA members which includes insurance cover for volunteers.

Event Marshals
