About the event

Join us at Cley Marshes this spring and summer to learn more about some of the wonderful species you may find in your local green spaces, allotments or gardens and how to survey them. Did you know there are 270 bee species? This session will focus on bumblebees but introduce you to some of our other incredible species. If you are interested in the natural world and would like to find out more about how you can contribute to conservation efforts by just noting what you see please sign up to one of our survey sessions. 

The session will involve walking about 1-2 miles to carry out some interactive surveying.
