This year is the Tenth Anniversary of the Friends of Foots Cray Meadows. To celebrate this and link in with London Tree Week, ten mature trees have been planted between Rectory Lane and the Lime Avenue. As part of the London Tree Week an event is being organised (see poster below) which is a great opportunity: to find out what species these trees are and how we shall care for them; how to identify trees, to learn about woodland management on the Meadows and meet Bexley’s Tree Officers.

About the Friends of Foots Cray Meadows:
We are an interest group formed to support Foots Cray Meadows. The Meadows are the largest public open space in the London Borough of Bexley, situated in the South East of the Borough bordered by Sidcup, Albany Park, North Cray and Bexley Village.
The River Cray forms a central feature of the landscape. The Meadows are owned and managed by the London Borough of Bexley.
This year The Friends celebrate Their Tenth Anniversary; the group is activity based with the objective of bringing the people who use and visit the Meadows together: To engage with visitors to: have an interest in, use the Meadows responsibly and to protect the natural habitat of the Site. The FFCM is a constituted, well established and active local group with a membership of around 60 households.
