What is Wildcat Wilderness?

Wildcat Wilderness is your community space where you can explore nature and the wildlife, play or relax in its peacefulness, learn new outdoor skills or crafts, share and enjoy the space with other local people of all ages, cultures, faiths and abilities.

Who is Wildcat Wilderness?

We are only open on certain days not all the time as we are used by local schools and other community groups. We generally have a weekly volunteering day every Thursday afternoon 12-3pm and Friday 10-1.30, weekend volunteering from the spring onwards, an activity/event some weekends plus additional activities during the school holidays.

Check the What’s On page for times and details. All welcome and if you can let us know by booking then great.

Support Wildcat Wilderness

The Wild Cat Wilderness is a unique, safe (but wild) oasis which allows the local community to enjoy and work with nature, grow and cook fresh local food – it really is a piece of the countryside in the heart of Catford.

Its a space the community have shaped, a place for children to safely run around, get dirty and learn, a meeting point for families, for neighbours, to make friends and feel part of a community and learn new skills.

We rely on your kind and generous donations – without you we couldn’t run!
