Minibeast Hunt on Sunday 25 May 2025

Because the ponds have dried out due to the recent weather, the planned pond dipping event is now going to be a minibeast hunt looking for plants and minibeasts in the Flora Field margins.

Start: 10.30am End:12.30pm

This event is organised by the North Lancashire Wildlife Group (NLWG) and is free and open to all.

Children very welcome

Children accompanied by an adult are very welcome, but because we are exploring the Nature Reserve, no dogs are allowed. Strong footwear is recommended.

Where to meet

Meet at the canalside entrance to Flora Fields.

iNaturalist app

If possible bring a smart phone with the i-Naturalist app installed to help identify and record what you see. Experts will be on hand to help.
