Junior Rangers -Pond Dipping

Friday 29th August at the Pond in Greenfield LNR
It was disappointing that only one Junior Ranger turned up with Mum. Several members of the Friends group supported the event, and a number of interesting wriggly things were viewed and identified. Thanks Rebecca from Wild Life Trust who ran the event for us.
However if the Junior Rangers are really going to get going, everyone who came to the launch needs to turn up and bring friends along to join in.
Our next event is open to everyone who wants to come along.
FRIDAY 5th SEPTEMBER. Meet at POND AREA in GREENFIELD LNR, COLNE at 6.30pm
Wear warm clothing, bring a TORCH and something to cook on the BARBECUE.
At 7.30pm Mike Fisher will be doing a BAT TALK & WALK using bat detectors.
We shall also be setting a moth trap and later we hope to identify some of the lovely moths that will be attracted to the light.
PLEASE COME AND BRING THE FAMILY & FRIENDS. Contact no: 01282 859745
