Watching a Kingfisher on Ivy Silt Pond during September’s Bird Trail event
This year our camp out experience is going up a gear and rather than spending a night on the reserve we are embarking on a two night residential in the New Forest, staying at the Countryside Education Trust’s Home Farm centre in Beaulieu. From here we will be exploring the local forest and coastline in search of birds and other wildlife, including an evening walk in search of the elusive Nightjar, a visit to Needs Ore Nature Reserve in search of nesting avocets and a guided walk around Pondhead‘s sustainable woodland, as well as lots more!
The residential is taking place from 7pm on Friday 12th until 4pm on Sunday 14th May and spaces are still available, so if you know a keen 13 to 17 year old, enthusiastic about wildlife and the outdoors please let them know!
Our Young Naturalists group is kindly funded by the Cameron Bespolka Trust and as such the charge for the trip is just £15 per young person. Booking is essential as spaces are limited, and all young people will need to have completed a parental consent form to join us. For more information and to book, please email BlashfordLakes@hiwwt.org.uk or telephone 01425 472760.
We hope you can join us!
