FAMILY EVENTS
We are holding a number of family events in the village over the next few months, so why not come along to one of these, or join the Friends of Maningham Wood in the Robartes Arms on the first Monday of every month at 7pm to help plan the future of the wood.
Churchyard Ramble
Saturday, 28th July at 10.30am
Join us on a guided walk around Illogan's "living churchyard" that shares its wildlife with the woodland next door.
We will learn how to identify the trees by their leaves and find out what wildlife lives amongst the log piles and the bramble thickets.
Meet at the entrance to the parish church.
Moth and Bat Hunt
Friday, 17th September from 8.00pm
Come and join a local moth expert from Duchy College as we try to attract woodland moths and then listen to the bats that hunt them.
Suitable for all ages, but children must be accompanied by an adult and all participants should bring along a torch.
Meet at the acorn seat in the centre of Maningham Wood.
Bird Box Check
Saturday, 2nd October from 11am
Adults are welcome to come and help us check the nestboxes to see if they were used this year, and then to clean them out and re-erect them ready for next spring. Not suitable for young children.
Please bring along some gloves and a ladder if you have one and meet at the entrance to the wood.
Bat Box Workshop
Saturday, 27th November from 10.30am
Come and make a bat box to put up in your garden for local bats to shelter in. We provide the materials, instructions, gloves and tools but you will need to bring an adult to help with the sawing and hammering.
Suitable for children aged 7yrs and above but there are limited places so you MUST BOOK early!
Phone Kirstie on 01872 273939 X 203 by Friday Nov 19th to reserve your place.
The cost to cover the hall and the wood and nails for each box is £4.50 and you will be asked to send a deposit when you book your place.
Phone Alison Forward on 07880 948791 for more details.
