Islanders are being invited to discover more about the Island’s local wildlife at a free event on Pan Country Park, Newport this Sunday (13th August).
‘Tales & Trails’ offers ranger-led walks, storytelling for all ages and a range of activities, from 11:00-15:00. Wildlife specialists will be on hand to share their knowledge of red squirrels, hedgehogs, butterflies and moths, too.
The event has been organised by Gift to Nature, a local countryside charity, that manages Pan Country Park as well as over 30 other natural spaces around the Island. They care for the Island’s wildlife but also encourage everyone to explore our fantastic countryside.
The Gift to Nature Engagement Officer, Rachael Ardley, said:
“This is a great opportunity for people to get out in the countryside and connect with nature”.
The event is being supported by Asda who has kindly offered the use of their car park and toilets. Blue badge holders should use the old Pan Lane.
Details of this event and the Gift to Nature sites may be found at www.gifttonature.org.uk.
