Are you interested in learning about wildlife recording?
NBRC, in partnership with the Rockingham Forest Vision, will be hosting a series of guided walks on Saturday 13th May in Kings Wood, Corby with the help of county recorders and the Northamptonshire Natural History Society.
During these guided walks you will get an introduction to recording and identifying species. Each of these walks will focus on a specific group including Plants, Water Bugs, Diptera, Reptiles and Amphibians.
