To ensure an interesting and engaging activity for all attendees, we limit the numbers of people who can attend some of our events. Places will be offered to members first and then to non-members if some are still available. Find out more about joining Norsey Wood Society here.

Small Mammal Trapping

Sunday 26th October 08.30am - 10.30am

Norsey Wood

Learning about the populations of small mammals (mice, voles and shrews) is important to further our knowledge of Norsey’s complex ecology. We will be setting out humane traps overnight and collecting them early in the morning. You can join us for the opening of the traps and see what species they hold. No animals are harmed at any stage of this exercise.

Festive Woodland Walk

Sunday 14th December 10.00am - 12.30pm

The wood is dormant at this time, and seems to echo the peace and tranquility of the Festive Period. Join us on a walk as we look for signs of nature and learn how it copes with winter. Seasonal refreshments will follow in the cosy Norsey Wood Centre.
