We are very fortunate to be able to offer this event, to be led by Professor Sir John Lawton FRS, immediate past president of the host organisation of Askham Bog, the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust together with Professor Dr Alastair Fitter, John’s successor as President of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. 

The event comes as the YWT embarks on the replacement of the current boardwalk system around the site and will take the form of a walk and talk. Along with the boardwalk replacement, YWT is planning a reserve wide refresh. So it’s a really exciting time to learn more about how this process will work while the location’s bugs, birds and other wildlife are getting into the swing of springtime. The event will appeal to all age-groups and its timing, during the school holidays will hopefully encourage younger participants too.
