The Wildlife Wanders are volunteer-led events that promote the wellbeing benefits of spending time in nature, meeting like-minded people, and learning wildlife watching skills. Whether you've never thought much about the wildlife on your doorstep before and want to learn from others, or you want to practice your skills and share them, then we'd love to have you along.

• Free to attend
• Happening monthly in three different locations
• Open to everyone!

Dates and locations

The Wildlife Wanders are monthly in three different locations in Northern Ireland:

• Cookstown on the 1st Sunday of the month 2-4pm - in Cabin Wood (Woodland Trust)
• Comber on the 2nd Sunday of the month 2-4pm - in various locations
• East Belfast on the 3rd Sunday of the month 2-4pm - in Victoria Park

We aim to run the events in local greenspaces that are accessible without a car.

Birds, trees, flowers, butterflies, bees, fungi... whatever wildlife we find, we observe, appreciate, and learn about it. Join us to enjoy our local wildlife each month as it changes with the seasons!
