Warmley Guided Nature Tour
Over 20 people joined local ecologist Nick Hudson from WildPace.co.uk and Kelly Bray from the Avon Wildlife Trust to explore the ecology, nature and wildlife of William Champion’s Gardens and also discover how gardens in Warmley are providing homes for wildlife and how we can maximise this.
This was a fantastic opportunity to find out more about William Champion’s Gardens, a hidden gem behind Kingswood Heritage Museum, that as a green space has its fair share of nature. Amongst the formal aspect of the Gardens there is plenty of room for wildlife to flourish in the less managed areas that support a wide range of plants, insects, birds and mammals. After sharing a bit about what inspires us in nature we were guided by the keen sight and interest of the children present in a hunt for bugs (food if you are a bird!). After continuing our exploration of the main gardens we walked to Neptune’s Wood and then finishing with a tour of Nick’s private urban garden to discuss wildlife gardening.
