Meet Up - Spring Wildlife Walk & Talk

South Hill Park, Bracknell

Saturday 4th May - 10.30am

Following the success of our Spring, Summer and Winter walks last year, we're delighted to welcome back the lovely Ailsa who we originally met in August 22 who will delight us with a countryside walk through South Hill Park telling us about all the wonders of nature.

Ailsa's enthusiasm is infectious and whilst we amble through nature she has a wealth of knowledge about plants, animals and birds. We can guarantee that you will learn something new!

Come along and join us to get to know others that understand how your cancer diagnosis may have made you feel - as well as the complexities of treatment and the journey you find yourself on.

Please ensure that you wear appropriate clothing, sturdy footwear and waterproof clothes depending on the weather.

Enjoy this Wildlife Spotting walk among the paths and beautiful surroundings of South Hill Park, led by our expert bird and wildlife whizz - Ailsa! After our walk we would encourage you to get refreshments at the café where you can find coffee, cake and sandwiches. You can continue to chat with new found friends who are a wonderfully supportive group of people.

This is an opportunity to get together at the weekend. If you would like to bring a friend or family member please just book them a space too.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome but please be mindful of those that are worried by them.

Location & Parking:

We will meet on the terrace, outside the cafe. Onsite parking is available and easily accessible. It is also FREE.

About Ailsa

I was quite shocked when a friend of mine recently asked me, 'Don't you ever get bored with birds?' How could I!? I've been mad about birds since I was a child, and my enthusiasm and knowledge grew when I worked for the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and the RSPB.

I am a regular volunteer with the British Trust for Ornithology and with the Berks, Bucks and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust, three of whose reserves feature in my walks.

Now that I have retired from a long career in teaching, I want to share my passion for nature, and literature, and to raise awareness and understanding of the wonders and vulnerability of the natural world around us.

My favourite recent wildlife encounters have been with a family of Peregrine Falcons, whose four babies have been practising their flying skills, not always successfully; I was one of the volunteers who took part in Flop Watch ready to rescue any of the youngsters that landed on the ground below their roof-top home.

The Cancer Support Network has been established to support people living in and around Wokingham and Bracknell, Berkshire that are affected by cancer.

Meeting other people with similar experiences can be invaluable. Self-help and support groups offer a chance for people to talk to others and come together to share experiences and concerns.
