Discover more about the Island’s local wildlife at a free event on Pan Country Park in Newport on Sunday. ‘Tales & Trails’ offers ranger-led walks, storytelling for all ages and a range of activities, from 11am to 3pm. Wildlife specialists will be on hand to share their knowledge of red squirrels, hedgehogs, butterflies and moths.
The event has been organised by Gift to Nature, a local countryside charity, that manages Pan Country Park and more than 30 other natural spaces around the Island. They care for the Island’s wildlife, but also encourage everyone to explore the Island’s fantastic countryside.
Gift to Nature engagement officer, Rachael Ardley, said: “This is a great opportunity for people to get out in the countryside and connect with nature.”
The event is being supported by Asda, who has offered the use of their car park and toilets. Blue badge holders should use the old Pan Lane.
