The day kicks off in the morning with a series of guided walks at Queenswood, Bodenham Lake and Oak Tree Farm. followed in the afternoon at Bodenham Parish Hall where we will have various stalls and staff to talk to that will showcase the activities of our branches, project teams, and activities. Whether you are interested in specific species conservation, habitat restoration, or community engagement, there will be something for everyone.

We will have a pop up shop, as well as a café serving drinks and cake, plus a raffle, with some fabulous prizes!

The Discovery Day features a series of short talks on a range of topics designed to delve deeper into our projects and conservation work. These talks, hosted by our CEO and project leads, are a fantastic way to learn about our future plans and the broader environmental challenges we face in Herefordshire.
