Events
We run a number of events throughout the year and publicise these on the Village WhatApp group and via newletters and leaflets. If you have any ideas for events that you would like us to consider, please contact secretary@dumbletonconservation.org
These events are free and open to all villagers and a wide cross sections of ages from young children to those with many more years under their belt.
Any age or mobility limitations will be advised when we publish specific details of events.
Bat Walks
Following the last 3 years highly successful events, Anne Goodenough, Professor of Applied Ecology will host another Bat walk in 2026.
We will use audio and, if available, night vision equipment, so we can hear and hopefully see the bats.
With at least 11 bat species in the area, we always has a great evening!
Look out for timing in early September 2026 for this early evening event.
Wildlife / Nature Walks
A walk up in the area discovering woodland plants, butterflies, birds and more in the company of Anne Goodenough, Professor of Applied Ecology.
We are planning another walk in 2026, so look out for timing for this event, usual held on a Saturday morning in the summer.
Mini Beast Safari
Anne Goodenough uses a moth trap, so you can see moths up close, and oversees pond dipping for aquatic invertebrates.
This type of event is ideal for anyone who has
limited mobility.
