- **Event Name**: Dawn Chorus Guided Walk
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 04:30 am (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: For just a few weeks of the year, we have the opportunity to witness the UK's bird life performing a glorious dawn chorus. Our guided walk will offer the chance to experience this wildlife soundscape within our woodland and wildflower meadows.

We'll be in prime position for dawn as the Forest of Flowers comes to life with a wonderful chorus from the resident bird life. Wildlife expert Keith Gittens will lead our walk, identifying different bird species as we go.

The Forest of Flowers' native tree and wildflower species provide an ideal wildlife habitat. We are lucky enough to have a huge range of bird species including: 

- Blackcap
- Chaffinch
- Chiffchaff
- Coal tit
- Dunnock
- Goldfinch 
- Long-tailed tit
- Marsh tit
- Nuthatch
- Reed bunting
- Song thrush
- Whitethroat
- Willow warbler
- Wren

Tea and coffee will be provided after the walk. 

Our walk will be through rough and uneven terrain -  we recommend sturdy/waterproof footwear such as wellies or walking boots.

Tickets are limited and booking is essential. 


About Forest of Flowers

The Forest of Flowers project has created 100 acres of woodland and wildflower meadows plus 17 ponds, with the sole aim to provide a thriving natural sanctuary for wildlife.

The land, previously a mixed arable and sheep farm, was re-purposed in 2016 when over 42,000 trees and shrubs were planted, alongside 35 native wildflower species. This is part of a vision to create a thriving ecosystem to benefit pollinators, birds and a diverse range of native wildlife.

The project also supports:
- Carbon capture to reduce the effects of climate change.
- Prevention of flooding in the local area.
- UK wildflower population, providing seeds from the meadows to other sites nationwide.

By purchasing a ticket you are helping to fund our project and further conservation work. Thank you!
