Lots to do at Ranscombe from Saturday ...

🎉 Celebrating 20 Years of Ranscombe Farm Nature Reserve 🎉

This June, we’re marking 20 years of Plantlife caring for Ranscombe Farm Nature Reserve with a week of free activities, walks, workshops and community events 🌿

Rather than one big event, we wanted to create a programme that reflects the many different ways people connect with nature - from conservation volunteering and species monitoring, to forest bathing, crafts, storytelling, farming, and guided walks.

Whether you’re a long-time visitor or have never been to Ranscombe Farm before, we’d love to welcome you.

📅 6th–12th June
💚 All activities are free to attend, but make sure to book on as there’s limited spaces
🌱 Family-friendly, beginner-friendly and nature-curious people all welcome

Take a look at the full programme and book your place here:

A huge thank you to all the volunteers, partners and local organisations helping bring this week together.

This celebration week is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund through the Ranscombe Connect: Community Participation for Wild Plants and Fungi project.
