About this Event

Enjoy a free guided walk around our stunning Sweet Briar Marshes reserve with our volunteer guide Oli. This is an informal walk aimed at those who don't have much knowledge of nature and wildlife, but would like to learn more.

Oli will be able to show you some interesting features of the reserve, and will be able to point out some of the plants and creatures that live there, but he won't be able to answer all your questions, so this is an opportunity to learn more together.

Please wear wellington boots or walking boots if you have them, as the reserve can be wet and muddy at this time of year.

Please also bring binoculars if you have them and ensure that you are dressed for the weather, as this is an outdoor event.

Under-18s should be accompanied by an adult.

Please meet at the BMX track at Sloughbottom Park, What3Words ///riots.warns.thanks
