Wild Flower Walk - 2.30pm Sunday
10th June 2012 Meet at the National Trust car park at Cogden
An opportunity to walk at Cogden,
in the company of the farmers and the National Trust rangers, in some of the secret and special places not normally accessible to the public to discover the glory and subtlety of the early summer flowers.
From the delicate and tiny hairy tare to the intense pink of the grass vetchling; the intricacy of
the bee orchid to the gaudiness of the dyers greenweed; the shy and variable milkwort and the
hidden but beautiful butterfly orchids ... every year is different but always it is special. We will expect to find many rare and beautiful flowers, including several orchids, to discuss the history and conservation management of the farm, meet the gentle Red Devon cattle and to generally have a nice time for about 2 hours.
Farm Walk - 2.30pm Sunday 1st July 2012
Meet at West Bexington in the village centre
A pre-harvest walk at West Bexington to see how the organic
farming fits in with the conservation. We will walk around the grassland, scrub and growing crops,
and hope to see a range of different wildflowers including many pretty, and now uncommon, arable
weeds.
