Exploring Autumn at Hetton Park and Bogs

Join us on Sunday 11th October from 10:00am - 12:00pm for our next Wild Wander: Exploring Autumn at Hetton Park and Bogs!

We will be taking a walk around Hetton Park and Hetton Bogs, led by Hetton Park and Bogs Officer, Alex. The theme of this walk is Exploring Autumn - in celebration of the changing of the seasons. During our walk we will keep an eye out for signs of Autumn - from colour changes in the canopy and which fungi are starting to emerge, to the songs of resident birds. All ID materials including guides and lenses will be provided.

Please meet Alex at The Hetton Centre (what3words///warms.comforted.example) for 10am, where free parking is available. Alex will then lead the group into and around the park, returning to The Hetton Centre for 12pm.

Everyone welcome - no prior experience or knowledge necessary! Under 18s are also welcome, provided they attend with a parent or guardian. We kindly ask that no dogs are brought along to Wild Wanders, with the exception of guide and assistance dogs. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Closed-toed shoes, long sleeves and long trousers are advised.

Please note, this walk may involve walking off path and up/down hills. If you have any concerns surrounding accessibility, please contact our Hetton Park and Bogs officer, Alex, at aswainston@durhamwt.co.uk or call us on 0191 5843112 and ask for Alex.

This walk is part of Links with Nature's ongoing Wild Wanders programme - free, guided nature walks across our 12 greenspaces - every 2nd Sunday and 4th Friday of the month. Keep an eye out on our Eventbrite page for details of each walk!
