Festival Bowland 2023 - Moorland Safari

Join us for a walk along one of the Forest of Bowland's most stunning valleys.

Take this opportunity to learn more about the international importance of the area and its rare upland habitats, and discover some of the incredible wildlife that makes their home here in the spring and summer.

We will be looking out for rare upland birds including hen harrier, ring ouzel, and merlin. We also hope to spot other moorland specialities such as stonechat, meadow pipit, curlew, and have the chance of seeing green hairstreak butterflies.

Binoculars (and a telescope if you have one) recommended - along with a packed lunch/drink. (Suitable for children of 10 yrs and upwards. All under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.)

No dogs except assistance dogs.

As parking is limited at the start of the walk, we will meet in Slaidburn and then a few cars will drive to the start of the walk. Please do not pay for parking until cars have been organised.

Booking essential. Please book at https://events.rspb.org.uk/events/41964
