Free online talk with Susan Simmonds of Hampshire & isle of Wight Wildlife Trust
Join Susan Simmonds from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, as she explores the character of our chalk streams in the colder months.
The sky may be grey at this time of the year, but the world of wildlife remains full of colour. Our local chalk streams are still bustling, both above and below the surface. Wandering the banks, you might see beautiful birds or the first signs of blooms on trees. Down in the water, smaller creatures make the most of the steady flow.
In this talk, Susan Simmonds from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust will uncover the wildlife that flourishes along our chalk streams during wintertime. Learn how these habitats stay vibrant in colder weather, and get inspiration on what to look out for on your walk.
This event is part of Watercress and Winterbournes, a Landscape Partnership Scheme that is protecting, enhancing, and celebrating seven local chalk streams. Reserve a free spot:
