Langdyke has a special event organised for the summer – ideal for the young and not so young!
The big Langdyke BioBlitz is planned for Sunday, June 18 at the Etton sites – High Meadow and Vergette Wood Meadow.
There are two key reasons for the day – the chance to record important species found on the two Langdyke reserves and also to give families the chance to get to know nature.
The idea is to create a fun-filled day of ‘Citizen Science’ to help record the flora and fauna at the two sites.
The event is ideal for all the family and participants can come along at any time between 10am and 2pm.
Langdyke experts will be on hand to help volunteers survey an area, identify the finds and record them.
Events organiser Claire Noble said: “We are organising a day which we hope will appeal to those with an interest in nature and – in particular – to families looking for something different to do on a summer Sunday.

In the meantime the Trust board continues to forge ahead with its programme to benefit nature – and needs your help
Day to day activities continue – with volunteers supporting Monday and Thursday work parties at the Etton, Swaddywell, Bainton Heath and Torpel reserves.
The Trust is run entirely by volunteers who do a great job. But there is always a need for more. If you are interested in attending a work party or helping out with clerical tasks or surveys please get in touch by emailing volunteer@langdyke.org.uk. More information is available here
