About the event

Join us at our Pentwyn Farm Reserve to learn basic bumblebee identification and how to participate in the national BeeWalk survey, a scheme organised by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. 

By the end of the session, hopefully you will feel confident in registering to carry out your own BeeWalk Survey, either on one of our reserves or in a local green space near you!

What to expect: We will meet at the Pentwyn Farm car park at 10am (Penallt, NP25 4SA, SO523093, w.3.w. topping.restores.swing). After a short talk on identifying the 8 common bumblebees and how to set up a survey transect, we will head out onto the reserve to practice what we have learnt. We will return to the car park for around 1pm. There are facilities on site.

What to bring: Please wear sturdy shoes and appropriate clothing for the weather. A camera/mobile phone may be useful for photographing bumblebees to ID.

Please note: This event is weather dependent and may be cancelled in the case of adverse conditions.
