Join us as we celebrate 'International Day of Forests' with a short stroll around Cliburn Moss National Nature Reserve near Penrith owned by Natural England. A basin mire which supports an unusual range of fen, bog and heath communities with several rare and scarce plant species. Birdsong fills the air as spring days slowly lengthen. Resident woodland species are joined by migrants such as blackcaps, willow warblers and tree pipits. Red squirrels can be seen feeding and playing around dawn and dusk.

You'll need to wear / bring lots of warm layers; gloves and hats, waterproofs, drinks and snacks.
We'll follow a way-marked route passing through the main habitat types, starting from the car parking area. It is about 1.3kms in length and we'll take a leisurely stroll around the site. Although the site is flat, the rough terrain and 'boardwalked' sections make it unsuitable for wheelchair users. This site can be wet and boggy so wellies will be essential. If you'd like to borrow some then please let us know your shoe size(s) when you book.
Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
