Full description: 

Fiona will share her wildlife knowledge leading a walk around the 'set' of Springwatch 2025, which is being broadcast from Longshaw Estate! We'll explore the moorlands, woodlands and rivers which are home to a variety of birds, flowers and other wildlife as starred on the show. The intention is to walk up to 8 miles with some sections of steep ascent / descent, so be prepared for a hike, but also bring binoculars if you have them. Who knows, we may bump into Chris Packham and Micaela Strachan on the way!

Public transport or car sharing options: 

Bus 272 arrives at Fox House at 10.15 (from Sheffield station / Abbeydale Rd / Hunters Bar roundabout). If you do decide to drive, please offer lifts in the Meetup comments to minimise car use.
