The Wight Summer Walks and events programme is now available.

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust co-ordinate the Wight Winter and Wight Summer Walks booklets.

These contain listings of coast and countryside events on which local experts share their knowledge and special understanding of natural and local history and conservation on guided walks and practical activities for Islanders and visitors of all ages.

It’s a chance to explore the wonderful and unique coast and countryside of the Island during friendly outings in the company of fellow walkers.

The Biodiversity Partnership, together with the AONB partnership, will be holding a Bioblitz event for the third year running.

On Wednesday 25th July we will be at the National Trust carpark at Compton Bay, on the Military Road all day from 10.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
There will be activities looking for clifftop flowers and butterflies, fossils and rock pooling. There will be displays from conservation organisations and iSpot and we will be recording as many different plants and animals as we can find during the day. Come along and take part.

If you are a recorder, please do drop by for a while to spot wildlife to add to our species list, and help others with their ID skills if you like.

Make a note in your diaries, see you down there!
