About the event

Walking alongside the Keer estuary where the slag tips from the Carnforth Ironworks that closed nearly 100 years ago are now host to a fascinating range of plants and animals. The slag tips and the nearby saltmarsh contain a rich variety of wildflowers and other plants, some of them uncommon, and are also home to butterflies and many other insects. The area will also have plenty of avian interest with sea birds and others. Binoculars might be useful.
