Step into Alne Wood Park for an evening exploring the rich wildlife of this special woodland. Follow a gentle circular route through trees and grassland as you learn about the site’s biodiversity, habitat management, and the surveys guiding our conservation work. As dusk settles, we’ll pause in an open space to watch for bats emerging to hunt and use bat detectors to identify the species active here. A peaceful and insightful experience for nature lovers.
