Talacre Town Green is maintained by Camden Council and subcontractors who carry out the vast majority of the maintenance of the park, including looking after the planting and trees, repairs to paths, benches, playgrounds, fences, and collection of rubbish and litter etc. They do an do a good job of this with the resources available and we are very grateful to the park keepers and council officers who make this happen. However, there is always room for improvement in the park, and The Friends of Talacre Town Green is open to all to get involved and help make Talacre better.
Volunteering directly
Please get in touch via our email address talacrefriends.org.uk@gmail.com if you are interested and we will get back to you.
The Friends of Talacre Town Green and other volunteers and well wishers have helped improve and maintain Talacre in various ways over the years. These include supporting Camden Council with watering of trees during droughts, rehabilitation and maintenance of meadow areas, planting and donation of shrubs, hedges, trees and bulbs, and the construction, maintenance and conservation of the beautiful Gaudi style bench in the children's' playground (click here for more information on the Bench Project).
During the summer when the weather is exceptionally dry, the Friends carry out regular watering of the trees and any new planting to see things through to the wetter months. Alongside TCV Green Gym Camden we also carry out regular maintenance of the meadow and meadow hedge, pruning and maintenance of the orchard, and planting sessions as arranged, including bulb planting in autumn.
Please get in touch via our email address talacrefriends.org.uk@gmail.com if you would like to get involved in maintenance and watering, have plants or bulbs to donate, or have any ideas of ways to improve the park for people and nature. We are a friendly group who who would like to attract as as many people as possible from the local community.
