It’s been a seriously dry summer.
Last Saturday marked the 40th day in the South when temperatures topped 30°C, while at Wisley it was the 60th consecutive day without rain.
You can see the impact right here on Wellington Meadow, which is looking very brown and dry.
With conditions this hot and dry, the risk of wildfire is high. If you’re enjoying our open spaces:
Choose a picnic rather than a disposable BBQ
Take your litter home
Avoid open fires and bonfires
Keep glass bottles out of direct sunlight
One spark can start a wildfire, threatening wildlife, habitats and people.
Let’s enjoy the sunshine by helping to keep our open spaces safe.
