🦋FINAL CALL – Limited Spaces Remaining! 🦋

Join us this Saturday (10:00am–12:00pm) for a guided Woodland Butterfly Walk & Talk through the beautiful Haugh Wood, one of the best places in the Wye Valley National Landscape to experience woodland butterflies.

Led by experienced naturalist Toby Fountain, you'll discover the fascinating lives of woodland butterflies, learn how to identify species in the field, and explore the habitats that support them. With a bit of luck, we'll also see one of the UK's most delicate and declining butterflies – the Wood White – which should be flying in good numbers at this time of year.

🦋 Limited spaces remain!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Hedgehog House Building Workshop at Llangrove Village Hall!

It was fantastic to welcome families from Llangrove C of E Primary School for a fun, hands-on afternoon learning about one of the UK's favourite mammals. We talked about how hedgehogs are struggling during the current heatwave, and how simple actions - like leaving out fresh water in a shallow dish and creating wildlife-friendly gardens - can make a real difference.
Together, we built an amazing 15 hedgehog houses, which will be used as feeding stations and cosy hibernation homes ready for the winter months.

Thanks also to Llangrove Village Hall for hosting us, and to everyone who came along and got involved. We are looking forward to seeing these new hedgehog homes helping local wildlife!

Bumblebee workshop:

What a fantastic day at our recent Bumblebee Identification Workshop at Tidenham Memorial Hall!

It was wonderful to welcome families, bumblebee enthusiasts and complete beginners for a fascinating day of learning with bumblebee expert Richard Comont. After an engaging indoor session, we headed to a beautiful local wildflower meadow where participants learnt how to safely catch, identify and record bumblebees in the field.

The group recorded an impressive seven different bumblebee species - a brilliant result and an exciting reminder of the importance of species-rich grasslands for pollinators.

Throughout the day, we explored the challenges facing bumblebees, including climate change and the loss of wildflower-rich habitats, and how everyone can play a part in protecting them by joining our Buzzwatch programme and helping monitor bumblebee populations across the Wye Valley National Landscape.

A huge thank you to Richard Comont for sharing his incredible knowledge, and to everyone who attended and made it such an enjoyable day. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
