Plenty to see

Friday, July 9th 2010

Tufted Vetch Although it has been quite windy today there has still been plenty to see.

This beauty is Tufted Vetch. It's currently brightening up the long grass all over the reserve with its bright, showy flowers.

The Meadow Brown butterflies are fluttering through the grasses everywhere.

There are Blue-tailed and Common Blue Damselflies wherever there is water.

This afternoon has been spent getting things ready for our morning of fund-raising at Bedale tomorrow. We will be running a Coffee Morning at the Chantry House from 9 o'clock tomorrow until lunchtime. Please come along and support us by having a cup of tea or coffee and maybe buying some of the home-made cakes we will have there.

June Wellbeing Wander

Friday 20th June 2025 | 2pm-3pm

Join us on a nature-based wellbeing walk around the reserve.

Having a sense of place and connectedness, being grounded is important for our general wellbeing and mental health. This is an invitation to pause and explore what being in nature can offer you.

Enjoy an afternoon of wellbeing starting with some mind awareness followed by a gentle walk where you get to listen, smell and watch what is around you and connect with any feelings which arise.

Bookings close 19th June.
