As well as our conservation and monitoring work we aim to entertain and educate our members and the general public. To this end, we hold weekly guided walks, birdwatching classes in the winter evenings, illustrated talks about wildlife near and far and educational courses. We also have special events, like Xmas Fair, Open Days, Optics Demos etc.
Book tickets to our events via our Box Office in the side bar:
Most of our activities are open to all (a few are just for members). They are designed so that individuals come along to one off talks, walks or classes, but most people soon become regulars.
