Meet at the eastern end of New Ground car park where all equipment will be provided.

On Saturday, May 24, you can see wildlife on your doorstep' on a guided walk around the Verne Local Nature Reserve with Brian Edwards from Dorset Environmental Records Centre, looking at what's in bloom and much more.

This will also be a chance to learn more about recording wildlife at a local level so, to join in this two-hour stroll, meet in New Ground car park at the eastern end at 11am.

On Saturday, May 31, join Portland Wildlife Watch Group to see Hidden Ledges' followed by Botany Bingo'.

This is a chance to see the secret lives of guillemots and razorbills and then to play Botany Bingo on the Common.
