The Field Trips programme for 2025 will commence in May and members are notified by email ahead of each trip with more detailed booking information. Please always let us know if you are meeting us at the Nadder Centre car park on Weaveland Road or travelling to the location independently. 

Download a PDF of the full 2025 programme here, including Young Nature Watch activities [updated 22 May 2025]. 

IMPORTANT: A more in-depth description of each Field Trip can be found here [updated 22 May 2025].  The document shows the postcode location of the destination, distance, difficulty, footwear and picnic advice. We also indicate the times for meeting at the Nadder Centre, as we encourage members to share lifts, plus the start time of the field trip at the location.​

If you would like to make any comments, or suggestions for next year, please contact us ​
