About this event

Join us at Par Beach on Wednesday 27th August, from 10:00 to 15:00, to learn about a variety of dunes wildlife species and how to identify them. This workshop will be entirely outdoors, and will be suitable for both beginners and those looking for a refresher!

We will also have a brief discussion about relevant volunteering opportunities you could get involved with using your skills from this session, for those interested in next steps. However, attending the workshop doesn't commit you to volunteering, so please do come along if you simply wish to take part on the day.

Important Information:

Please be aware that parking at Par Beach is paid, and we cannot cover the cost of this.

Please wear suitable footwear for walking out on the sand, and bring appropriate clothing for the weather. The dunes are uneven, and in the event of rain there is no shelter, so please bring waterproofs is rain looks likely!

Please bring a packed lunch.

Public toilets are available nearby, but require 20p coin operation.

This event is open to all, but we do require under 18's to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who will also need to sign up.

The workshop will be led by Budding Nature and has been made possible thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Spaces are limited so if you are no longer able to attend, please let us know ASAP to allow someone else the opportunity.

If you have any questions about this workshop, please contact Sasha either via email at sasha.pinto@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk or call on 07508499021.
