"We love Bee Walking"
When the sun is shining, the urge to be outside and get involved in different activities is greater than ever. But if you're all out of ideas, then why not try something completely different and go bumblebee walking.
The Bumblebee Conservation Trust is a UK based charity that was established because of serious concerns about the ‘plight of the bumblebee.’ It aims to raise awareness and increase understanding about bumblebees.
BeeWalks are suitable for all ages offering educational fun and providing the perfect experience for all the family to get involved with.
Activities for small children and walks for the adults allow for a funpacked adventure. Including a guided walk or creating your own route and recording the bumblebees seen in your area, can help the Bumblebee Conservation Trust monitor how the bumblebee population is changing.
Anyone can become a BeeWalker, yes even you! All that you need is a spare hour or so every month to walk a fixed route of about a mile (you choose where it goes) and send the Bumblebee Conservation Trust your sightings.
If you’re a keen and enthusiastic person who loves an adventure then this would be ideal for you.
