Description

Shap Outdoor Festival '24 - 27th April to 26th May 2024

Guided Nature Walks: Participants can join guided walks led by expert naturalists to explore the diverse landscapes and wildlife habitats in the area. These walks provide opportunities to observe local flora and fauna while learning about their ecological significance and conservation needs as well as showcasing the biodiversity and natural beauty of the area. There will also be wildlife viewing opportunities for attendees to observe animals and birds in their natural habitats.

Educational Talks: Local conservationists and environmentalists will deliver informative talks and participate in panel discussions on topics such as biodiversity conservation, habitat restoration, sustainable tourism and the impacts of climate change on the environment. These sessions aim to educate and inspire participants to take action for the protection of nature and their local area.

Shap Outdoor Festival ’24 will allow you to explore our wonderful local countryside and its incredible wildlife – from lichens in our ancient woodlands to the high fell and limestone escarpment. From river restoration and wetland habitats – home to our recent water vole re-introduction, to a ‘lost-word’ wander; delving into tales and poetry from nature and the wilds!

You will need to book to reserve a place at a talk or on a walk. Most of our events are free to join – please help us by leaving a donation if you can!
