Little Thetford ‘Open for Nature’ day Success

New life on the Old West hosted the first of their two annual ‘Open for Nature’ days last week at Little Thetford Village Hall, and the adjacent recreation ground.

From getting up close and personal with moths, searching for damsel and dragonflies and investigating the language of animal track and sign, there was plenty of activities for all ages to get involved with. There was also plenty of opportunity to find out more about the work the project conduct, with East Cambs Climate Action Network taking part in the event.

There was plenty of opportunity to think about how and why “We ‘Otter’ Connect” with nature in our local landscape as we marked wildlife sightings and interactions on our giant map, as well as lots of fun and laughs playing our “Otter Steals Fish” game, with participants winning a limited edition pin badge!

NLOW will be in Over, on the village green, from 11am-3pm on 17 August 2024 hosting their second ‘Open for Nature’ event. Additionally, there will be a ‘Dragons and Damsels’ walk at RSPB Ouse Fen with David Chandler, local wildlife guide, from 10am-12pm. You can book your place here. These aerial acrobats should provide you with the best inspiration for a print-making workshop with local artist Sherry Rea in Over Pavilion on the same day. You can book your place here.
