We aim to engage others in the whole wildlife experience by providing access to a range of walks and talks.
Virtual Talks
Our main talk programme is currently suspended but we are running a series of virtual talks via the popular Zoom app. Details of these talks are listed below.
If you are not already on our mailing list and would like to receive further information please subscribe to our newsletter using the feedback form on this website.
We are pleased to announce the following virtual talk programme. The talks will take place via the popular and simple to use video conferencing app Zoom. We have created a basic guide to using Zoom here including how to access the talk via a smart phone.
WILDLIFE AND FORENSIC SCIENCE with Jim Miller
Monday 18th January 2021, 7.30pm
Prepare yourselves for an 'arresting' evening as we 'uncover' how the police use wildlife in their investigations. How do plants, sniffer dogs, laboratory cats, DNA, blowflies and other wildlife provide clues for our detectives to solve crimes?
This talk will take place via the popular Zoom app and will cost £2 per device. If everybody in your household will be viewing the talk on the same device you only need to pay once.
REWILDING - HOW CAN WE RESTORE NATURE with Tim Birch
Monday 22nd February 2021, 7.30pm
One way of restoring nature and reversing declines is to re-colonise an area with native species. By reintroducing animals to the right environment with space to flourish, there is hope! See how we can help beavers, red squirrels, hen harriers and other species to thrive again. The future's wild!
This talk will take place via the popular Zoom app and will cost £2 per device. If everybody in your household will be viewing the talk on the same device you only need to pay once.

Update 30th September 2020: We are looking to run virtual talks via the popular app Zoom. If you are not already on our mailing list and would like to receive information on these please subscribe to our newsletter using the feedback form on this website.
Update 12th September 2020: We have suspended our talk programme until further notice. We will update the website with details of future talks as and when we are able to restart them.
Update 1st September 2020: As we are unable to predict the number of people that will attend our Guided Attenborough Walks - and there have been walks previously when it has been as many as 40! - we are still unable to guarantee compliance with the Government's social distancing regulations. Many apologies.
