Birdsong and Balsam at Engine Lonning
Join us for ‘Bird Bingo’ to discover which songsters are singing a symphony and/or get stuck into some balsam bashing and help look after the woodland for wildlife.
- Venue: Engine Lonning
- Dates: Wed 28th May
- Times: Morning and Afternoon sessions: 10am-12pm & 12:30pm-2:30pm
All are welcome. For a rewarding, fun and invigorating way to spend your day (or half a day)! Find out about our native woodland birds and pull some Himalayan balsam while you’re at it! Pulling out invasive, non-native Himalayan balsam, you’ll be helping to protect our rivers and native wild plants and learn about our feathered friends living in the woodland!
All ages – under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Details:
Where to meet: Engine Lonning lies to the west of Carlisle city centre, next to the River Eden, just downstream from where the River Caldew flows into it.

Please note, there isn’t any parking at, or near the woodland site. Please walk or use public transport to get here. Find us in the clearing at the end of the lane accessed from main entrance.
What to Wear: old clothes – long-sleeve tops, trousers, waterproofs and gardening or work gloves (we can lend you some!) Covering arms and legs is important as you might be pulling out Himalayan balsam in nettles and thistles! Wear wellies or sturdy shoes/boots.
What to Bring: drinks, hats, sunscreen and waterproofs (just in case) and lunch if you plan to stay all day.
