Ever wondered how birds are tracked and studied in the wild? Join us for a fascinating morning with the Redditch Ringing Group and get a behind-the-scenes look at bird conservation in action! This year, we’re excited to open the event to the public for the first time.
What to Expect:
This event offers an incredible opportunity to see skilled bird ringers carefully catch, identify, measure, and ring birds right here in the Heart of England Forest. You’ll learn about why bird ringing is crucial for conservation and gain insights into the lives of some of the forest’s feathered residents.
Expect close-up encounters with birds, learn how ringing data helps monitor bird populations and migrations, and ask the experts all your burning questions!
Why Bird Ringing Matters:
Bird ringing is essential for understanding bird populations, migration routes, and conservation challenges. In collaboration with the Redditch Ringing Group, we’ve celebrated milestones like ringing over 10,000 birds in the forest, contributing invaluable data to national conservation efforts.
Your participation supports this vital work and the money received from donations goes towards the maintenance and management of habitats within the Forest. Donations allow us to continue to provide a safe haven for birds, mammals, and other much-loved wildlife.
