About the event

Nature and Natter is a programme of monthly sociable activities aimed at adults, with an environmental or nature twist and a focus on friendly chat. They are either on a Wednesday evening or a Saturday morning and are either on Cambourne Nature Reserve, or Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve.

On May's session we'll enjoy an evening walk looking for spring wildlife on Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserve. At some point, we'll find a suitable place to stop and have a picnic (we'll provide the water-proof blankets, you provide the food!). How far we walk depends on the group, but it might be 1-2 miles.

Please note: the meeting point for this walk is near the middle of the nature reserve. There is no parking at the meeting point, but it is very close to Trumpington Park and Ride.
