As the weather gets better and spring sneaks in take the opportunity to visit some of our local nature reserves. You have the well known ones like Skylarks, Sharphill Wood, Cotgrave Country Park and Bunny Wood, but remember there are others like Bingham Linear Park, Wilwell, Wilford Claypits, Springdale Wood etc.

The following link to our web South Notts Wildlife contain details of the accessible reserves in the area http://www.southnottswildlife.org.uk/content/?page_id=228

and includes links to web sites and reserve leaflets, where available.

In addition there is a link to the RBC leaflet Nature in Rushcliffe – http://www.southnottswildlife.org.uk/content/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/NatureInRushcliffe_leaflet_artwork.pdf

And notes on what critters to look out for over the coming months – http://www.southnottswildlife.org.uk/content/?page_id=1640

For our local wildlife guided walks look at our Out & About Programme http://www.southnottswildlife.org.uk/content/?page_id=231

If you want to look further a field go to the Notts Wildlife Trust web site https://www.nottinghamshirewildlife.org/ and look at reserves across the county and other wildlife activities.

But what ever you do get out and about with wildlife, you know it makes sense.
