Overview

A leisurely paced walk across Horsell Common led by Michael Jones, Education and Engagement Officer for the Thames Basin Heaths Partnership.  Michael has led walks for us before which were justly very popular.  We'll look for a variety of insects, including the remarkable Beewolf, the ferocious Green Tiger Beetle and should encounter a range of wonderful butterflies and dragonflies. The heather should be coming into bloom too.  This is the second half of a walk commenced on 11 July.  The walk is limited to 15 participants.  Please bring binoculars with you.  The walk isn't suitable for dogs (though of course Assistance Dogs are welcome)

Please phone or text to book a space.
