About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Do you know your vetch from your vetchling? Your yellow rattle from your yellow-wort? If not, this may be the event for you! Join Mary-Anne Rielly at Shibdon Pond for a guided wildflower walk through the beautiful hay meadow. We will start with looking at what can be found on an area of improving grassland to the south of the pond, before working our way up to the meadow. This will be a beginner-friendly event and a great opportunity to learn how to identify common wildflowers, whilst exploring one of our nature reserves with equipment to help ID the flowers. Please feel free to bring along any wildflower ID books you may have, as well as a hand lens if you own one.
