Apologies, but it looks like about half our newsletters (sent out 11th July) have gone into people's email spam, due to what is known as a "technical issue". Please check spam folders. The link below should work (if not I will sulk, again 😥). Pls share. mailchi.mp/d3dbae7d0fc2/r…]

Still some spaces left! A great way to end #NationalMothWeek and see what species we can find! Cumbria Butterfly Conservation Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre

There's just one ticket left for our Autumn residential weekend. And it's one of our discounted tickets for only a tenner, so if you're feeling a bit skint, don't let that put you off! Forestry England The Lost Words for Cumbria John Muir Trust @eccva254 UBoC trybooking.com/uk/events/land…

Last chance to book onto our moth events...we'll be off to start setting up the traps this afternoon!

We had a fascinating couple of sessions with Ryan Clark observing & identifying #moths at Hardknott Forest. We recorded 67 species on a very under-recorded site. The late night session was great fun!

It's that time of year when the members of our growing group let us know which #wildflowers we'll have to plant this season. Thanks to Jonathan for propagating these ragged robin which we'll plant this autumn. Get in touch if you fancy growing for us. Showcase Cumbria UBoC

Sometimes you don't need a comment...

After our moth events, here are our bat events - which is logical if you think about it. Booking links are here: linktr.ee/hardknottforest. Let us know if you can put a poster up somewhere local, and please share this post if possible. Bat Conservation Trust Forestry England Visit Lake District, Cumbria

We spent a couple of days getting visitor information and feedback this week. Thanks to everyone who came to chat. Also snapped a few invertebrates lurking around the car park.

Lola and Izzy have spent the last couple of months helping us with various surveys (#dormice, habitat, #watervoles, ghosts). We're wondering whether they might have been enjoying the work too much.

I have been illustrating insects which can be found buzzing & scuttling around ragwort. This cheerful wildflower sustains an astounding array of different insect species! This is just a tiny selection.

Pop this on, turn up the volume & chill....

Interested in temperate/Atlantic/celtic rainforest? It's one of the habitats we have some small areas of at Hardknott, and we're seeing it slowly expanding. This descriptive blog gives some more context.

This week's bat walk is fully booked, but there are places next week. Come & try our bat detectors (& thermal scope!) and find out about bat ecology & conservation. Bat Conservation Trust John Muir Trust Showcase Cumbria Forestry England Ryan Clark UBoC trybooking.com/uk/DQZT

We're finding a few examples of our county flower...the grass of parnassus, or bog star if you prefer. We have plenty of suitably moist habitat, so we hope to see it spreading throughout the Upper Duddon Landscape Recovery area. wildflowerhour Defra UK UBoC

Fab bat walk this week with lots of sightings & calls of at least 4 species. Last one of the year is next Tuesday. Book with the link here: trybooking.com/uk/DQZT

A few Northern Monk Brew Co. beers in the garden is even more appropriate this weekend after talking about our work at their AGM this week. Great to meet the folks who are supporting our work. Cheers! 🍻
