All Events

 

Saturday 14th April	10am - noon	Pond Day
There should be plenty of tadpoles, newts, water beetles, pond skaters and caddisfly larvae and water snails to discover. Pond trays, nets and help with identifications will be available.
Sunday 6th May	5am	Dawn Chorus
Meet under the Gazebo at 4:45-5:00am. This time of year is rich in bird song so come and hear the symphony and help identify the birds; and hopefully if clear, watch the sunrise over a sparkling dew-kissed pasture and mist rise above the pond!
Saturday 9th June	10am - noon	Wild Flower and Pollinator Day
With the help of warm, dry weather the Pasture will look its prettiest in June. Wild flowers, grasses and insects will bring the Pasture alive. There will be booklets and advisors available to identify finds.
Saturday 14th July	10am - noon	Moth and Dragonfly Morning
As part of National Moth Count we will have set our moth trap to identify those caught, before releasing them. We have already identified more than 100 species, which have been reported to the National Moth Centre. Damsel and Dragonflies should also be seen flying, and defending their territory.
Saturday 4th August	10am - noon	Blackberry Picking Begins
This is the official start of the pick which may last through to September. Bring your own containers and make a donation at the entrance. Please take care with the brambles and try not to trample the hedges as they are a habitat for birds and mammals.
Saturday 18th August	10am - noon	Butterfly Morning
If the weather is warm and dry we should see many of the species already recorded at the Pasture. Booklets will be available, as well as help with identification.
Saturday 15th September	10am - noon	Spiders and Bugs Hunt
At this time of year the Pasture should be alive with grasshoppers, spiders and other creatures. This is a chance to discover more about insects and to observe the wasp spider (which doesn't sting).
Saturday 17th November	10am - noon	Bulb Planting and Tree Care Day
The Pasture will not be planting any more trees – we now have enough, but we will be weeding and mulching around those we have and generally preparing them for the winter and planting more flower bulbs for Spring. You may even find some hazelnuts.

You will have noticed that most of the events are family friendly - so bring the
children along: there are plenty of other things to enjoy learning about.
