More information
As the sun dips and the day begins to settle, Watchtree transforms. Join us for a gentle, guided walk through the reserve with our new Habitat & Estates Team Leader, Belinda Lloyd. Together, we’ll tune into the peaceful sounds of the evening, learning to identify bird calls and spot twilight wildlife as it becomes active.
Belinda will also share insight into the vital biodiversity work happening here at Watchtree — from how we care for our habitats to why every buzzing insect and rustling hedgerow matters. This is a perfect opportunity to connect with nature, deepen your knowledge, and enjoy the magic of the reserve at dusk.
