Caring for the resident swans of<br />
Wanstead Parklands<br />
Apprenticeship and training fair for<br />
local teenagers and young adults<br />
A charity dedicated to the care of swans will<br />
host an event in Wanstead Park on 2 <strong>February</strong>.<br />
“Swan Sanctuary volunteers have been<br />
active in Epping Forest for many years…<br />
Last December, we rescued and operated<br />
successfully on one of the Heronry swans in<br />
Wanstead Park and returned him to the lake,”<br />
said a spokesperson. The event – which will<br />
take place at the Temple from 2pm to 2.30pm<br />
(adults: £3; children: free) – will be followed by<br />
a guided walk to Perch Pond to observe the<br />
resident swans. Visit wrengroup.org.uk<br />
Now showing in Wanstead:<br />
two horticultural happenings<br />
A local rugby club will host an apprenticeship<br />
and training fair on 8 <strong>February</strong>, for students<br />
aged 15 and over. “There will be a CV clinic,<br />
interactive activities – including how to find<br />
your career online – and demonstrations by<br />
our members, from construction to forensics,”<br />
said a spokesperson for Eton Manor RFC.<br />
Wanstead-based North London Loft Rooms<br />
and Petty Son and Prestwich will be among<br />
the companies taking part. The event will take<br />
place at the club’s Nutter Lane grounds from<br />

Winter irises<br />
Silk tassel bush<br />
SATISFACTION<br />
GUARANTEED<br />
UNBEATABLE<br />
PRICES<br />
The Wanstead Community Gardeners are keen<br />
to point out two horticultural happenings in<br />
Wanstead for the public to enjoy. “There are<br />
winter irises at the Wanstead United Reformed<br />
Church on Grosvenor Road – four clumps<br />
of them. Originating in Algeria, they flower<br />
from October through to March and are<br />
exquisite! Plus, Garrya elliptica (silk tassel bush)<br />
– many shrubs around the station. They bear<br />
extraordinarily long catkins the whole winter.<br />
A sight for sore eyes!” said Marian Temple.<br />
