Our next event is at Low Barnes Nature Reserve in Witton-le-Wear on May 18th. We will join the Lanchester Wildlife Group to walk around the reserve, visiting hides and the newly re-opened reedbed boardwalk. We hope to see a good variety of plants, insects and birds, including possible marsh tits. Please see the calendar for full details. If you have any suggestions for walks or talk, please let us know, our contact details are at the bottom of this page. Please feel free to send us your favourite pictures of wildlife (using the WWG email address, which is near the bottom of this page). Wildlife is an important part of Weardale's landscape but much of it is being lost. In order to conserve and protect our natural heritage we want to play our part in understanding our wildlife and encouraging others to enjoy our surroundings. We aim to: - Bring together people interested in wildlife
- Record key wildlife species and their habitats
- Encourage local interest in wildlife and conservation
- Share our knowledge and skills with other groups and organisations
If you would like to get involved, your enthusiasm and interest would be warmly welcome and we have many events in the pipeline. Please see our calendar for upcoming walks, talks, gatherings and events. Our email is enquiries@weardalewildlifegroup.co.uk or check out our facebook page. Please feel free to send images for our photo gallery. Please note, we have a no dog policy. Please find the link below to the North pennines National Landscape Adder project (our last talk and walk). https://northpennines.org.uk/what_we_do/adders-up/ To record wildlife follow the link for the AONB's recording site irecord.
