WOODLAND flowers and wildlife will be the centre of attention at a 'wild about woodlands' event in Alfrick this month.

Staff and volunteers from Worcestershire Wildlife Trust will be celebrating the wonder of spring woodlands at the Knapp and Papermill nature reserve in Alfrick Pound.

The event will have activities for adults and families alike.

Hannah Thomas, engagement officer at the trust, said: “Woodlands are great places at all times of year but spring is particularly lovely as flowers and trees start to come to life, birds sing for territories and butterflies and bees start to zoom around.

“If we’ve timed it just right, the woods will be carpeted with bluebells, wild garlic and wood anemones.

“We’ll be making the most of this beauty with a series of guided walks that look more closely at aspects of the nature reserve, family activities and information for everyone.”

Nestled in the Leigh Brook Valley, the Knapp and Papermill is a beautiful mixture of orchards, meadows and woodland, according to the trust.

The activities will be focused around the education centre and in the orchard but will help to point visitors to other parts of the reserve.

Hannah Thomas added: “There’ll be a chance for visitors to discover more about the geology and natural history of the reserve on a walk with experts, to get crafty with a number of activities or join us for wildlife games.

“We’ll be hunting for bugs, looking for birds and finding out more about some beautiful woodland flowers.

“We’ll also be offering drinks and cakes to give people the chance to sit down, unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

“The Knapp and Papermill is a lovely and peaceful place to visit on your own but even better when there are experts on hand to help you get more out of your visit.”

The event takes place from 11am to 3pm on Sunday, April 26.

Entry is free but there will be small charges for some of the activities.
