Free Ecclesall Woods walks – Sunday 21st October

Talk: “The Changing Wildlife & Fauna of Sheffield Area Woods”
Talk: “The Changing Wildlife & Fauna of Sheffield Area Woods” by Bob Croxton.
Date: Tuesday 21st August.
Time: 2.15pm at the Discovery Centre, Ecclesall Woods.
Friends of Ecclesall Woods have arranged a public talk which should be of particular interest to those who want to learn more about ecology in Sheffield’s woodlands.
Bob has been taking photos in certain areas on a regular basis for many years and has observed the changes that take place when more dominant species move in. Are brambles and holly more of a threat to our bluebells than any invasion by the Spanish variety? Come and see Bob’s photos showing changes in the incidence of bluebells and many other species as well.
Bob is an active member of the Sorby Society and has contributed to the recent Sheffield State of Nature report published by the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust.
Spring in the Woods walks: 20th May 2018
Two walks – 10.30am & 2.30pm
This year’s Spring in the Woods event is taking place at Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield, on Sunday 20th May. Sheffield Woodland Connections will once again be running a stall there and leading two interpretative walks around the woods.
Join us as we take a closer look at the trees and discover the late spring flowers blooming in South Yorkshire’s largest ancient woodland.
The walks are free and will be approximately 90 minutes long. We will meet at our stall in the Discovery Centre 10 minutes before the stated walk time.
Booking is recommended as the numbers are limited to 25 people and our last walk proved to be really popular. Please remember to state whether you wish to attend the morning or afternoon walk when booking.
