 Join us from 10am-midday or midday-2pm to enjoy pond dipping at Drove Pond and kick surveys at the River Stour. Led by our team of experts, we’ll discover what fascinating species are living in the waters.

Our guest lead, nature writer, academic and author Jane Adams, will work between the two groups, weaving into the session priceless nuggets of information about the species we hope to find in the waters of Bere Marsh Farm and the role they play in the wider ecology of the farm and nearby communities.

Everyone is welcome at this event, which will make an interesting activity for families during the summer holidays.

From 2.30pm-3pm Jane Adams will also lead a short session on nature journalling for anyone who wishes to stay a bit longer. If this is of interest, you could download the Encounter Nature app ahead of the session or use one of our Bere Marsh Farm nature journals.
