Thames Water invites you to join us at our Farmoor Reservoir site to celebrate National Meadows Day. The walk will be led by our Nature Reserve Warden, Peter Philp, and we will look for some of the special plants and animals associated with the Thames Floodplane Meadows.
Please don’t forget to book (click on the ‘Reserve a spot’ button)
(Don't forget to cancel, if you can no longer attend, so someone else can take your place).
We may find some of the scarcer plants such as Frogbit or Greater Water Parsnip amongst the commoner Meadowsweet and Purple Loosestrife. It the weather is fine we might spot a variety of insects from Bees and Dragonflies to Butterflies including Marbled White or Common Blue. Otherwise there will be plenty of birdlife to keep us interested.
Accessibility & risks: many of the paths are surfaced or firm. However, some areas may be uneven or muddy. Please dress appropriately for the habitat and weather. Bring binoculars, if you have them, so we can have a good look at some of the wildlife we find.
Meet in the Main Car Park at Farmoor Reservoir, Cumnor Road, Farmoor. We will then drive around the reservoir to the Nature Reserves. (Please note that you are not normally allowed to drive around the reservoir).
