No Booking required

Clare is currently putting together a program of Bumblebee Blitzes across the three counties, open to all and no experience necessary but will provide opportunities to learn and improve spotting and ID skills.

I will keep my eye out for notices – and put up here anything that might be of interest.

Bracken

I have also had notice that Powys Moorland Partnership are running a Bracken Management Event near Knighton in Powys.  Its a bit of a hike from Carmarthenshire – but has talks in the morning and machinery demonstrations later in the day.  A link to the event details is below – and you can take a view:
