The Friends of Fortune Green and Camden's nature conservation officers held an event on Fortune Green on Sunday for people to make (and take away) their own bird nesting boxes fo their gardens. It was a great idea and those who struggled through the wind and rain seemed to enjoy it immensely! There was a small canopy covering the activity and all around it was almost ankle deep in churned up mud and water. The whole Green had virtually become a swamp overnight and in all the years I have lived next door to the Green I never remember seeing it quite so all over soaking wet. I have asked the Head of Parks to look into this because if the Green can't drain properly, all the imaginative schemes that the Friends are considering could be at risk - we might be better to make reed beds for waterfowl and turn the Green into a Wetlands Centre!!
