A bit more detail about our nature walks:
2pm – Bee walk with Quentin Given. Learn more about bees and identify the different types that visit Railway Fields. You’ll hear about the vital role bees play in the ecosystem, the current decline in bee populations and how you can help. Quentin is a bee enthusiast who has been at the forefront of Friends of the Earth campaigns for bee-friendly policies.
4pm – Plants and habitats walk with TCV’s Clif Osborne. Join Clif for a tour of the different types of habitat at Railway Fields, with a focus on the plants that grow there (some of which are welcome, others not so much!) and how the nature reserve is being managed to encourage biodiversity.
