Nut hunt - December 2021

8/1/2022

 
Happy new year to all Young Nature Watchers!

We had a fantastic nut hunt last December, see our Facebook post (link) and one of the participants pictures on Instagram (link) to find out more about how it went.

Nut hunts are a superb way of helping wildlife charities and researchers tracking the presence/absence in specific areas of endangered species such as dormice. As it is a completely unintrusive survey method, you can be sure that you won't disturb any little critter and you won't need a license to look for nuts in the forest floor (most other ways of dormice surveying require a license). Find out more about nut hunts in the PTES website.

​We hope our nutty participants will put their new knowledge into practice in woodlands of their choice!

    Young Nature Watch (YNW) is a branch of the Tisbury and District Natural History Society (TNHS). Our first event was on July 2020.

    YNW is free for under-21s! Young people always have priority at any of our activities but accompanying adults are required for under-12s. Whenever possible, we will aim to split attendants into three different groups:

    - Families with young children

    - Teenagers only

    - Young-at-heart of all ages

    ​For adults, annual membership for the TNHS (£10) or a £2 fee per event (for non-members) is due.​

    YNW activities are organised by Inés Lopez-Doriga and Izzy Fry (find out more about how it all started in Focus, p.27).
