This week we’ll be exploring the magical world of mosses with researcher, artist and lecturer Antony Hall. From creating soil to retaining water, mosses play a vital role in reclaiming space for life to thrive.

We’ll be investigating these micro-habitats out in the garden, looking at the ecosystems they support - from invertebrates like woodlice, slugs and beetles to pollinators and nesting birds - and how these spongy, hairy organisms provide food, shelter and building materials for a huge range of species.

Join arboricultural and ecological consultant, Russell Miller, for an introduction to the hidden world of dead and decaying wood.

This workshop will explore the rich diversity of habitats found within deadwood, the species most likely to be encountered in gardens, and the vital role that decaying vegetation plays in supporting wildlife.

This event is free to attend but booking is recommend.

With expert guidance from our friends at the South Lancashire Bat Group, we’ll be learning all about our native bats before heading out into the gardens to investigate our local population with bat detectors in hand.
