We are very sorry to say that we have decided to postpone our Family Day planned for this coming Sunday.
It must be a busy weekend as we have had very few people booking places. As the event takes a lot of preparation and organisation it seems sensible to postpone it.
We are sorry to disappoint those that have booked and we hope to welcome you to another EKWT family event in the Autumn.
Everyone is of course most welcome to visit Ox Close Wood and our other nature reserves at any time.
This event was very well attended and the children enjoyed making models of dragonflies, pond dipping, observing moths and drawing their own wildlife pictures.
We will be meeting at the woodstore in Elliker Wood at 10.30am. The entrance to Elliker is next to 21, The Paddock, East Keswick.
Activities will include making a dragonfly, looking at the wonderful world of moths, pond dipping and butterfly and wild flower identification. We expect to finish by 1pm. Please bring a drink and a snack.
Booking is required – please send an email with details of your party to info@ekwt.org.uk
We hope to see you there!
The weather was lovely and we had 25 people who came to see the spectacular spring flowers on the annual bluebell walk.
Come and enjoy the beautiful bluebells in Ox Close Wood.
Meet at Crabtree Lane car park at 7pm.
All welcome.
We had a great family work party last Sunday and even had some sunshine after a rainy start. We planted over 200 hazel saplings in the newly coppiced areas which will be a source of early pollen and provide cover.
It was lovely to see such a range of ages working together and we’d like to thank everyone who joined us.
Please join us for a BBQ, to plant trees and join in the children’s events.
We will be planting a variety of trees into our newly coppiced area in Elliker Wood.
Please bring a spade if you have one and food for the barbecue.
The entrance to Elliker Wood is next to 21 The Paddock, in East Keswick.
Hope to see you there.
Please come along and make a variety of Christmas decorations from natural materials. For ages 5 to 11, £5 per family.
