Join a Dorset Wildlife Trust Warden on this family event at Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve for an evening dedicated to creatures of the night. As dusk settles in and the nightshift clocks on we will explore the fields and hegerows of Lorton looking for bats, owls and other crepuscular creatures. Using bat detectors the staff and volunteers will help to identify the night fliers and other wildlife that we find along the way.
This event is suitable for adults and families with children from 4 to 15 yrs old. All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
