Celebrate what autumn has to offer at Hothfield Heathland by meeting the Reserve Warden to discover the heath's flora and fauna.
About the event
As the seasons change, so does the flora and fauna of Hothfield Heathlands. Meet the Reserve Warden to discover the fungi and migratory birds abundant as the days shorten and the temperature drops.
You'll end the walk by lighting a fire to toast some snacks to enjoy as you look in more detail at the species you discussed during the walk.
