About the event

Join a Dorset Wildlife Trust Warden on this family event at Lorton Meadows nature reserve for an evening dedicated to creatures of the night. As dusk settles in and the nightshift starts, we will explore the fields and hedgerows of Lorton Meadows nature reserve looking for bats, owls and other crepuscular creatures. Using bat detectors, the staff and volunteers will help to identify the night fliers and other wildlife that we find along the way.
