There will be several tents with a variety of things to see. There will be habitat exhibits and other items on woodland, heathland  and coastal wildlife as well as photographic displays.

In the morning we will be emptying moth traps. There will be children’s trails through the orchard. To get out and see wildlife we are scheduling half-hour guided walks throughout the day on different themes including birds, wildflowers, butterflies, grasses & lichens, spiders, insects and pond dipping. For those who want to learn: practical 10-minute pollinator surveying sessions will be held to show how it’s done – which you can then do in your own garden or anywhere.

We’ll also have a table full of information leaflets about many local wildlife groups and what they do. The Fairfield Association will have a refreshments tent with drinks and homemade cakes.
