Friends of Wimbledon and Putney Commons Launched
"A crucial role in preserving, protecting and maintaining this unique and special place”
The Conservators have launched the Friends of Wimbledon and Putney
Commons, the aim is to bring together members of the local community who are connected by a passion for the
Commons for the purposes of collective celebration and fund raising.
“Every path, heathland, bog, stream, pond and woodland has an incalculable value that requires ongoing
investment,” said Diane Neil Mills, Chairman of Wimbledon and Putney Commons Conservators. “Without
skilled conservation officers, mounted keepers and the other members of our very committed staff, our
unique Commons would not be as they are today: safe, clean and preserved. That is why every
contribution you make, small and large, is so important. By becoming a Friend of Wimbledon and Putney
Commons, you will be playing a crucial role in preserving, protecting and maintaining this unique and
special place.”
"As a Friend, you will be invited to attend special events that will provide a unique experience of the
Commons. The first event of this type will be the Friends’ Launch Event on Friday 20th September 2019
from 7.00pm. This special evening will celebrate the historic links between the Commons and the London
Scottish Regiment through words, music, food and wine commencing with a piper led walk from the
windmill through the woods to a recital on the banks of Queensmere".
"We are delighted that both Stephen Hammond MP and the Right Honourable Justine Greening MP will be
able to join us for this important occasion".
