Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust are carrying out a ‘BioBlitz’ – a non-stop 30-hour survey of all wildlife – at their picturesque Siccaridge Wood reserve in the Stroud Valley. The aim is to find 600 species.

Drop in any time between 10:30 on Saturday 15th and 4:30pm Sunday 16th June and stay as long as you like. There are a number of different walks and events during the two days, with experts on hand (including the odd NCOS member!) to help identify the various taxa.

GWT has several reserves in the area, and of course there’s the Daneway Inn close by.
