Join us at Biddulph Valley Way and Dane-in-Shaw Pastures SSSI for a Wildlife Recording Day as part of our Community Nature Hub project.

The aim of the these days is to record a wide range of species whilst offering valuable opportunities to build identification skills, learn new surveying techniques and visit new and interesting sites. There will be recorders at all skill levels so attendees can learn from experts or key out new species with peers.

Biddulph Valley Way is an old railway line that is now a haven for wildlife and walkers, about half way along the route is Dane-in-Shaw Pasture Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The site is a grassland of national importance and is home to a variety of wildlflowers including Ox-eye Daisy, Common Spotted Orchid, Black Knapweed, Common Cat's-ear.
