About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Over the past two years the Trust has taken on new land for nature. Join Trust Director, Jim Cokill, and Reserves Manager, Andy Wadds for a tour of some of the new land, and find out about how the Trust is utilising green investment opportunities, like Biodiversity Net Gain, to restore nature at scale.

We will meet at 1pm in front of Rainton Meadows Visitor Centre and take a minibus to tour Ricknall Carrs, Mordon Carrs and Bishop's Fen (if time permits), returning by 4.30pm.

Please note, this event will involve lots of walking across uneven ground with gates and stiles, therefore it is not suitable for people with limited mobility or wheelchair users.

Please wear weather-appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear, including long trousers.

This event is most suitable for adults, however is open to those aged 14+. All under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

There are facilities at Rainton Meadows but not at the sites we will visit during the tour.
