Wildlife wonders tour at Sheepleas

Join me for an all-round high-Summer wildlife foray through ancient woodland and chalk grassland. We will seek out orchids and other Summer wildflowers, learning the key identifcation features of plants, and all about their habitat requirements. By mid Summer, chalk grassland is a riot of colour, and the woodland edges and meadows teem with butterflies and bees. We’ll explore trees and their role in the environment, identify birds by song and call, as well as look out for butterflies, day-flying moths, crickets and other insects. Learn some of the wildlife field signs – clues left behind by animals in the wild – that tell us about who’s been here.  Who knows what we may see? This is a good tour for those interested in a bit of everything! Tour length approx 2.5 miles, slow paced. Tickets £15 per person, free for children under 16
