Environmental Day at Finglandrigg Woods

ENVIRONMENTAL DAY IN THE WOODS
Saturday 26th March 10-3

We are excited to announce this collaborative event with Natural England. Help the rare marsh fritillary butterfly through re-planting and create nature inspired ephemeral art at Finglandrigg Woods.

The day will see us transplanting some Devils bit scabious plants from one section of the reserve to another. This flower is the food plant for the Marsh Fritillary butterfly that was re-introduced back in 2007 onto the reserve following it’s very near extinction in the county.

We will also be able to take inspiration from iconic land artist Andy Goldsworthy as well inspiration from our surroundings and create ephemeral nature art. This is a zero-damage to local eco-systems way of creating visually dazzling nature based art. This will be facilitated by a local professional artist.

This day will be suitable for all the family. Sturdy shoes, a packed lunch and flask are recommended.
