For parents, this means six weeks filled with children yearning to be amused. For others, it means hazy summer days, which we all want to make the most of.

This is where nature can help. Simply go outside and discover.

Our August events have been designed exactly for that - for you to discover, learn and to be inspired.

From a BioBlitz this Saturday (2 Aug) to a family Bird, Bug and Butterfly walk at Brown's Folly next Wednesday (6 August) and nature reserve walks guided by our Reserves Managers (13, 14, 20 and 21 August), let us inspire you this summer...
