You are invited to join a wildlife trail at The Three Green’s Festival on Sept 25th in the company of naturalist Ed Drewitt. Expect to encounter nature all around us and visit some very special places. Walks last for around one hour.

11am Trail One

We cross the park to head down the ancient Drove Road to Dibden Farm, follow the watercourse to a little-known pond near the garage, and then cross to discover the lake near the Science Park, which hosts numerous waterfowl and wildflowers. Heron and Little Egrets are regularly seen here. Back via new paths in Lyde Green and Newlands Bridge.

1pm Trail Two

We cross over into Lyde Green via Newlands Bridge, turn left on a new path and pick up the old Housemoor Lane. We follow this to Lyde Green Common, a vital place for nature amidst the new development, where we learn from Ed about its potential. Back via the Dramway if time permits.

3 pm Trail Three

We cross the park to Emersons Green Common, a great example of a wildflower meadow, going on up Emersons Green Lane to find The Chain and Wheels Earth Sculpture, built alongside the Ring Road and now bursting with wildlife. Expect an extraordinary profusion of plants and wildflowers and, if you are lucky, a green woodpecker.
