We’ll meet at the log cabin for 10am and head out on a family friendly walk where we’ll encounter trees beginning to take on their autumn colours. \nNo prior knowledge is necessary\, as we’ll go through the identification of some common trees on the day. Afterwards\, we’ll have lunch and look at how you can upload your own records into Nature’s Calendar. \nNature’s Calendar is a long-standing citizen science project\, hosted by The Woodland Trust\, which dates as far back as 1736. By uploading records of seasonal changes onto the database\, you can help scientists answer questions such as what effect weather has on wildlife\, and whether climate change is affecting timings in nature. \nThis event is open to everyone\, including families\, although the terrain may be uneven so please ensure you have suitable footwear.  The walk will take approximately 2 hours so bring appropriate clothing and a packed lunch. Places are limited so booking is essential. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n  URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/nature-calendar-talkin/ LOCATION:Talkin Tarn\, Brampton\, Tarn Road\, Brampton\, CA8 1HN CATEGORIES:Family-friendly,Guided walk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Talkin-2-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
