Please do come and join us for our joint event with Drove Orchards on Saturday.
This free event will offer two wildlife walks, a tour of the orchard from owner Andrew Jamieson, and a wealth of wildlife information at the big barn behind the farm shop at Drove Orchards.
We will be providing complimentary goody bags for kids.
The event begins at 10am with the first of two wildlife walks, taking in some of the most beautiful wildlife areas on the farm, and (hopefully) involving a ringing demonstration.
The first moth trap will be emptied at 11.15am
The second wildlife walk will take place at 12.30pm
The second moth trap will be emptied at 1.45pm
The orchard walk will take place at 2.30pm
Please bring sensible footwear and with a changeable forecast there will be umbrellas available, but most of all do come along and see that there is much more to Drove Orchards than just its apples!

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE – THURSDAY 5th NOVEMBER 2020
COVID-19 Restrictions on NOA Reserves Further to the announcement of a second lockdown in order to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus, the NOA must once again close all hides on its nature reserves from 5th November. While we would discourage anyone from travelling too far during this crucial time, our reserves themselves will remain open for local visitors and usual charges will apply for non-members. Please follow government advice, and respect social distancing at all times. We will restore access to our facilities as and when government restrictions permit. We are very grateful for your understanding and support.
