The United Nations declared 2010 to be the International Year of Biodiversity.

It is a celebration of life on earth and of the value of biodiversity for our lives.

We hope to share this with you through our events to help increase understanding of the vital role that biodiversity plays in sustaining life and the need to safeguard this irreplaceable natural wealth and reduce biodiversity loss.

Most events are free of charge! For all walks please bring suitable clothing and stout boots.  The weather can change quickly here at any time of the year, so it’s always advisable to bring waterproofs.  You may also need sun cream and insect repellent as well.

It is a good idea to bring a drink for any walk, and for the longer hillwalks you will need to bring lunch. Freshly made packed lunches can be ordered in advance from our cafe on (01597) 810899 and picked up on arrival during the months the Visitor Centre is open.

We reserve the right to change/cancel events.
