About

Learn about the bugs, beasties and plants present in Freeman’s Wood and how you can do a bit of Citizen Science to record what you see. Another chance to add to the iNaturalist Lancaster Green Spaces project.

Dave Brookes is a keen bug-spotter and trustee for both Fairfield Nature Reserve and The Storey Gardens. Ros Jones is founder and director of Wild Roots & Wildlife Wellbeing Walks and loves to connect to her own wild roots.
