This Saturday we'll be playing host to a 'Growing up wild' event as part of a partnership between the RSPB and the Girlguiding association. Over 100 brownies from local units will be joining us at the reserve to get involved with a range of activities designed to connect them with nature and help them discover our fabulous wildlife.
The reserve will of course be open for other visitors on Saturday but I wanted to let you know that we'll be using a few specific areas on the reserve with our brownie groups - this will include Fattengates courtyard and West Mead hide. These areas will be reserved for use by the brownie groups who will be supervised by their own unit leaders and by our staff and volunteers.
The remaining hides and the rest of the nature trail should remain peaceful (except for the singing of birds and buzzing of bees)!
