DESCRIPTION:Why are the North Pennines so high? The answer lies in the rocks. Find out more in this talk by geologist Charlie Bendall on 7 May\, 6pm to 7.30pm at Bowlees Visitor Centre. \nThe North Pennines have the seven highest hilltops in the Pennines and more ground over 600m (2000ft) than the rest of the Pennines combined.

SUMMARY:BeeWalk training with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust  - Teesdale pollinator surveying
DESCRIPTION:We are looking for adult volunteers to take part in BeeWalks.  We are offering a free one-day training course\, for both beginners and those with experience\, to learn about the identification of all 24 British bumblebees. \nThe course takes place on 14 May from 9.30am to 4pm\, at Bowlees Visitor Centre in the morning and along the Pennine Way in the afternoon.  The walks and training follow the Bumblebee Conservation Trust’s (BCT) survey methodology and training will include information on the national BeeWalk scheme. \nEach BeeWalk would be approximately 1 to 2 km long\, encompassing a variety of habitats including a selection of upland hay meadows\, woodland\, or roadside verges.  The BeeWalks take place from May to September\, bi-weekly\, and can be carried out individually or paired with another volunteer. The aim is to monitor a selection of meadows pre- and post-restoration to see the impacts upon pollinator abundance\, whilst also adding vital data to a countrywide programme run by the BCT. The BeeWalks will be coordinated by a member of the Tees-Swale Farming and Nature Team. \nTraining will be undertaken by Andy Benson\, Skills for BeeWalk project manager at the Bumblebee Conversation Trust. \nPlease contact Willaim for more information: william@northpennines.org.uk.\nPlease sign up using our Better Impact volunteer system  \n
