About

This is a wonderful chance to explore the nature reserve after we close. We will put the moth traps out, in the hopes of catching some of these beautiful nocturnal creatures. We will then take the bat detectors on a walk in the hopes of hearing some bats. We will wander around the reserve to see who is about and enjoy a tasty late-night snack of hot chocolate!
