Join us for a nature walk, Saturday 25th from the Wilderness Centre Car park!
This Saturday, in the Wilderness - we will be going on a nature walk!, cars leaving at 11am from the carpark at the end of Wilderness Drive. A short drive away from the Centre is a bio-diverse and endangered habitat, it is the proposed development site of a new business/ residential complex, and they plan to build a road straight through it!
Over 40 colonies of small-perl boardered fritillary buterflies, have collapsed over the last 30 years. There are only three remaining breeding sites that are known about in the Forest of Dean, this site is one of them!
The plans being drawn up will make the current college/uni buildings at Five Acres, Coleford into just another abandoned building, and will build a "new", much smaller educational premises right on-top of this rare habitat. The area is Home to crested newts, rare butterflies, lizards, many species of Bat.
Please come and help us fight to save this rare habitat!
