Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands: From Dusk to Dark.

Friday 17th October 6pm – 7.30pm at Bolton Gate Farm, Weston Coyney. Staffordshire

Come and join us for an evening walk with conservationist Amy Dutton, who shares her love of creature spotting and ID, and exploring the dark.

All are welcome to this session as we build your trust and love of the dark, showing our children this is not a place to fear, but rather a place of so much life and potential.

We will be looking for bats before they start their hibernation and getting up close with moths as we see how a moth trap works.

Why are moths attracted to the light? Why don’t they just come out in the day if they like the light so much?

What owl sound is that?

What do bats like to eat?

How can I attract more wildlife into my garden?

What can I do to help support and sustain life after dark?

Lots of questions we will hopefully find the answers to in this Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands session!

Earth School Staffordshire Moorlands is an initiative that aims to provide the local community with knowledge on a vast range of Earth based subjects which will widen understanding and perception of the land on which we live and inspire future guardians of our wonderful planet.

Our curriculum covers lessons from soil quality and allotment planting to navigation and star constellations. There is a blend of community learning, spirituality, Earth care and Self-care. Our events are open to families with children aged from 5+ and adults alike. We are a nomadic group, travelling around the Staffordshire Moorlands, meeting on a monthly basis. Come and learn new skills through human to human connection and sharing knowledge as a community so we can all grow together.

Exchange: £15 for an adult. £20 for a family of 3 or less. £25 for a family of 4 to 5

Pre booking required.
