“Spiders - Small Super Heroes.” Come to the illustrated talk of that title this month by Garth Coupland, hosted by the Nature Group. Garth has lived in Norfolk all his life, apart from five years in Australia. He is an illustrator, writer, Rock singer, record producer and a lifelong natural historian who lectures on many topics, including Spiders. Using photography, illustrations and anecdotes, this talk’s focus is the general life of British spiders, from their many extraordinary uses of silk to their fascinating sex lives! Garth hopes to elucidate, educate and amuse you.

This will take place on the 8th of May, 7:30-9:30pm, at the Town Green Centre (NR18 0PW). All are welcome, and there is no need to book! Admission is just £3, or £2 for Wildlife Trust members.

Other events this month include a guided walk through Ashwellthorpe Lower Wood on Sunday 18th of May. Meet the Nature Group in the car park on The Street (Ashwellthorpe), and join them for a three-hour stroll to see bluebells, learn about coppice management, and enjoy the woodland biodiversity. Ring Anne Edwards on 01603 812309 for any queries!

Or join the Group at Toll’s Meadow on Sunday 25th of May at 2-4pm for some Wild Flower identification. This is a free event at the meadow, though donations to the Norfolk Wildlife Trust are welcome!
