About this Event

Woodland Wildflower Walk with broadcaster, naturalist and writer Mike Dilger

Sunday 29th May 9.30-11.30am

In this Spring morning session at Leigh Woods you will be discovering exactly why this site is so special and how it earns its title as a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest. Mike will be drawing on his experience as a botanist & ecologist to help us pick out and identify some of those sensational flowering plants and trees which we expect to find in the woodland at this time of year. Will we be able to find the unique Bristol rock cress or will we be lucky enough to come across our flowering orchids? Whatever we find, you can be sure to discover a wide range of flowering woodland plants across our different habitats.

Mike is best known for his regular appearances as the ‘wild man’ on BBC1’s The One Show, for which he has presented over 450 films over the last decade. Happiest when talking about anything from Bumblebees to Basking Sharks, Mike also covers a variety of wildlife and environmental issues for BBC1’s regional affairs programme Inside Out.

Please note: This event is weather-dependent and for safety reasons we will not be able to continue in very heavy rain or high winds. We will always aim to reschedule but in the event of the above you will be fully refunded including your Eventbrite fee. This session is for those with little or no knowledge in this specialism.

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event? Enter Leigh Woods at the Forestry England Leigh Woods sign on the Abbots Leigh Road (A369).  There is plenty of parking in the main Forestry England car park at the bottom of the long humped tree-lined avenue.  Forestry England charge £2.00 to park in their car park. Meet your My Green World tutor by the main noticeboards at the beginning of the red and purple trails in the car park.
