📢 Adder Walk Postponed 📢

Unfortunately, we’ve had to postpone our Adder Walk this Saturday due to a couple of important reasons:

🐍 It’s too cold – The chilly weather means adders are unlikely to be active and easy to spot.

🐍 New guidance from ARG UK – While adders are emerging at this time of year, they are also at their most vulnerable. To protect them, experts recommend avoiding engagement activities during this sensitive period. It’s important that we engage with these beautiful creatures in a supportive and respectful way in line with expert guidance.

🌞 We’re rescheduling the walk for summer when conditions are better – everyone who booked will get first pick of tickets when we re-advertise.

Thanks for understanding — we can’t wait to welcome you on a warmer day! 💚

When: Sat 16 March, 10am-1pm

Where: Walkmill Community Woodland (meet at Moresby Rugby Union Club)

What: The Cumbria Amphibian and Reptile Group will take you around the site in search of adders, amphibians and reptiles in the undergrowth.

Who: Suitable for all abilities

Notes: Please ensure you wear clothing and footwear suitable for the weather and for an outdoor setting. Sturdy footwear is advised. Children must be accompanied.
