Noticing Nature events

Join us for our free "Noticing Nature" events, a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural world and observe the wildlife around us.

Whether you're in a bustling town or a quiet rural area, wildlife is all around us. Keep an eye out for various forms of wildlife, such as the melodious song of a bird, the telltale signs of a molehill, vibrant wildflowers to towering trees. These sightings are valuable and contribute to our understanding of local biodiversity.
