A walk to explore the various ways to identify trees without leaves - you'll be amazed at all the clues! .
We will be walking around the nature reserve looking at various shapes of trees, bark colours and patterns and bud formation.
Throughout the walk, there'll be opportunity to learn some folklore or foraging tips as well as some interesting and surprising landscape history.
Children are welcome and we always give out a scavenger hunt to help engage young minds.
At the end of the walk you'll be welcome to enjoy a warm drink and take a look through some books and look at various apps to help with identifying.
We will be walking around the site but not at a fast pace and plenty of stopping so dress with plenty of layers if its a cold day.
This session is free of charge thanks to funding from the Government's Species Survival Fund. The fund was developed by Defra and its Arm's-Length Bodies. It is being delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Natural England and the Environment Agency.
The project has also been supported by funding from partners and other organisations, totalling almost £400,000. These include National Grid, The Environment Agency, South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre, Sheffield Hallam University, Yorkshire Water, Friends of Richmond Park and the South Yorkshire Badger Group.
The funding was granted to enable habitat creation and restoration/enhancement works to support species abundance and the conservation and interpretation of Shire Brook Valley’s heritage.
