A Celebration of Summer Wildlife with Dave Winnard at The Walled Garden School

The Walled Garden School is located in the grounds of Hawarden Castle and the estate is the perfect place for a  Celebration of Summer Wildlife with Dave Winnard.

Book your course via the 'Tickets' button above.

Join Dave Winnard for a pleasant stroll through the grounds of the historic Hawarden Estate to encounter a variety of interesting wild species that call Hawarden home. From birds and insects to plants and mammals, you will seek out some of the wonderful wildlife of the summer months.

On this walk you will see how different species fit into the landscape and the overall ecosystem, from understanding how a single flower species can be host to a variety of insects and fungi, to looking for evidence of what birds have been breeding.

Whilst this walk does not focus on one particular group of wildlife, it allows you to follow nature’s lead; if you find an interesting butterfly you will look at that, if you see some signs of mammals, you will work out what they were, if you discover a new wildflower for the estate then you will appreciate that. Let nature dictate what you discover (with a little help and instruction from your friendly nature guide, David).

This is the kind of walk where you set off not knowing what you may discover and come back with an experience of seeing nature in all its glory, at a beautiful time of year, in a stunning setting.
