Your Chance to Beetle About at Maidenhead Braywick

Learn more about the fascinating world of beetles on a guided walk through Maidenhead Braywick Nature Reserve on Sunday, June 25, starting 2pm.

Accompanied children, adults, teachers and nature lovers are invited to join Maidenhead countryside ranger Trevor Smith on a fun family stroll where you will be introduced to some of our native beetles, such as ladybirds and stag beetles, lurking and loafing about in the park.

The walk has been organised by The Maidenhead Royal Borough as part of The Royal Entomological Society's National Insect Week, which runs from June 19-25 and is designed to raise awareness of insects, their diversity and the crucial role they play in our everyday lives.

Last year's walk through Braywick, which focused on grasshoppers, was a great success and gave a lot of local families a fascinating insight into the world of grasshoppers all around them.

For further information call 01628 777440. There is no need to book.

The walk is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchair users and may involve some steps. Dogs must be on a lead at all times.
