Event organiser, Andy Bailey from the Moor than meets the eye Landscape Partnership said, “This beautiful oak woodland really bursts into life in the Spring, with birds travelling thousands of miles to nest here. I can’t think of a better way to excite the naturalists of the future so come along and make a day of it. There’s even a chance to meet the nature reserves very own royal inhabitants- the red wood ants and their queen!”
