Join local expert Ben West for an interesting and varied wildlife walk on Molesey Heath local nature reserve in West Molesey, Surrey.
The walks usually last a couple of hours and are conducted at a slow pace so as to immerse ourselves in all the sights and sounds of the local wildlife. We follow the seasons so that in the Spring months we pay particular attention to flowering plants and trees, butterflies, birds and birdsong and foraging Spring greens for food and medicine. The Summer months are dominated by wildflowers, dragonflies, damselflies, bees, butterflies and a whole host of other insect life. In the Autumn we follow bird migration and sample wild food and medicine in the form of fungi, fruits and roots. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There is always something fresh, exciting and unexpected to see and this element of surprise is what it’s all about.
Under 16's go free of charge on this event.
Ben donates a portion of the proceeds to the following conservation charities;
Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust
British Dragonfly Society
Bumblebee Conservation Trust
Butterfly Conservation
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
