Jon Cruddas MP comments: "much like Havering, Barking and Dagenham is rich in open spaces and country parks. Events like this are really important to educate young people and adults alike about the diverse wildlife living on our doorstep. I'd encourage anyone with an interest in the environment to get along to this event and learn more about the grass snakes, slow worms and other creatures that inhabit our parks."
