The area covered is part of the Lake District National Park extension which becomes effective in August this year. There is a wealth of wildlife and access on this walk which, incidentally, is almost entirely on land owned by the National Trust. The focus of the day will be:  What is a National Park and how does land qualify to be included?  Limestone grassland wildlife and landscape  Native woodland – management for wildlife  Wetland creation for wildlife Orchids may feature on the walk. The value of such places, undergoing active conservation, for people will be a significant issue of discussion. Course Timings: 10am- 3.30pm All sessions are booked on a first come first served basis. Please bring: a picnic lunch & clothing/footwear for all weathers. (Please note there is no indoor backup venue so the sessions will go ahead in poor weather unless unreasonable or unsafe to do so) Leaders: Ian Brodie – Open Spaces Society
