Come along and join in with an organised event, or go off for a ramble in the area with a recording sheet and try and spot as many species as you can! Don’t worry, you don’t have to stay for the whole 30 hours, unless you want to!

This event has been funded by the British Ecological Society as part of their Festival of Ecology centenary celebrations.

For the first time the walk will be held in our Lower Woods nature reserve where there will be the chance to meet like minded people and explore this very special ancient woodland. All those who complete the walk will receive a special walk medal, and your canine companions will get a special dog tag.

Join us to discover the secret world of moths t Lancaut & Ban-y-Gor Nature Reserves!

Meet our Cotswolds project staff and get an insiders perspective on the work we’ve been doing on the watermeadows and rivers at Sherborne Estate.

This guided walk and talk, which is open to all, will help you learn about conservation methods and why they are so important to the local wildlife. If you’re lucky you may catch a glimpse of the residents such as water voles, waders, wildfowl and red kites! Dogs on leads are welcome.

The event includes stiles, kissing gates, steep inclines and roaming livestock.

Even though seldom seen, many species of bats live quite comfortably alongside us in our urban environments.

Join us for a guided walk and talk, whilst we learn about and hopefully see some of our local bats. The event is open to all, but participants will need to remain still and quiet, so please use your discretion when bringing young children.

No dogs please.
