Friends of Riverside Park will hold their AGM at 7.30pm on Thursday, March 26, at The Old Chemist, Bitterne Park Triangle, with a talk from city park ranger James Stubbs.

All residents are welcome to attend the AGM, where Stubbs will be talking about what rangers do in the city parks, and how the community can help.

FORP is also planning a community biodiversity survey on Saturday, May 2, inviting participants to help collect data on local wildlife using their phones. In addition, a survey of park users will be carried out to gather views on park facilities and activities.
