What you need to know

Join us for a creative morning connecting with nature and mapping bird movements.

We are meeting in our JP Studio for a welcome introduction and a cup of tea or coffee before heading to the nearby wildflower garden to begin our flight lines activity.  During the morning we will be spending time sitting outside, observing the environment and our own feelings, then drawing and mapping experiences.

No bird ID or drawing experience is necessary.  There will be a maximum of 8 participants on this free course.

After the event you are welcome to stay for a picnic in our grounds.

Please contact camilla_nelson@hotmail.com  if you have any questions.

This is a free event but donations towards refreshments would be appreciated to support our charity.




Location

Carymoor Environmental Centre
Dimmer Lane, Castle Cary, Somerset, BA7 7NR United Kingdom

The post code for the Carymoor Environmental Centre is BA7 7NR. If using Google Maps please search for Dimmer Landfill Site near Castle Cary, as we share the same main gate.

By road: Coming off the B3153 on to Dimmer Lane, you’ll see a sign for the Dimmer landfill site and Recycling Centre. Follow this road until you come to a farm on a left hand bend and turn immediately right. You’ll see the signs here for the Dimmer site and for Carymoor. At the end of this road you’ll pass the recycling centre on your right and come to the main gate of the landfill site.

  • go through the main gates and turn immediately left before the weighbridge (ignore the wooden building and car park by the weighbridge – this is the landfill site operator’s offices).
  • Please note there is a 10mph speed limit on the site. You’ll see a big white sign on the bank with Carymoor on it and then green arrows with ‘Carymoor’ marked on them to direct you.

Keep going up over the hill, past a large compost operation on your left, and at the bottom of the hill you’ll see the centre and the car park on the left hand side.
