Nature enthusiasts, mark your calendars for an upcoming event! The Martlesham Wilds engagement walk is scheduled to take place at a yet-to-be-specified date, promising a fascinating exploration of the local landscape and wildlife.
Organised by the dedicated Martlesham Wilds Engagement volunteers, this walk invites both beginners and experts to immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors. The event, which is approximately 2 miles long, will be walked at a gentle pace, ensuring everyone can enjoy the journey.
The walk will lead participants to the River Deben, where they will have the opportunity to observe wading birds and learn about their identification, origins, reasons for visiting, summer locations, and ways to help them. While the focus is on wading birds, other local wildlife is also expected to feature in the discussions.
To make the most of this outdoor experience, it is recommended to bring binoculars or a camera. However, specific bird identification guides are not explicitly mentioned. Given the possibility of muddy paths, sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather are advisable.
The walk starts at a meeting point with the What3Words address: tinned.mush.cabbage. Participants are asked to gather at the car park next to St Mary's Church, Church Lane, Martlesham, IP12 4PQ.
Though dogs are not explicitly mentioned as being allowed for this specific event, it is noted that they are allowed but must be kept on a lead. Unfortunately, the walk does not appear to be wheelchair accessible due to the potential for muddy paths and steps up and down.
