Join us on a walk to take a look at the RSPB’s blanket bog restoration work and see how we’re regenerating essential habitat that is home to moorland wildlife such as Merlin, Golden plover, Short-eared owl and Mountain hare. Along the way we’ll be talking about how our partnership work with United Utilities contributes to improving local water quality and about the effects of our carbon footprint.
Please note: this is a strenuous 8 mile walk, lasting about 41/2 hours. The walk will be soft and wet in places, so suitable walking boots are essential as are warm clothing and waterproofs in case of poor weather. Binoculars will be an advantage but there will be a limited number of pairs to borrow on the day.
The walk leaves from the RSPB visitor information point, at the top of the Dove Stone car park at 09.30 am on Thursday 11th August 2011
