Join us for a free drop in nature-recording day at The Elms, the National Trust for Jersey’s headquarters and working farmland. Alongside local experts and passionate naturalists, you’ll help document as many species as possible across the site -from plants and pollinators to birds, insects, fungi, and more.  This is a drop-in event with activities running throughout the day, suitable for everyone—from seasoned wildlife enthusiasts to the simply curious.

Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy outdoor footwear, as the ground may be uneven. All equipment is provided.  Your participation helps us better protect and manage the wildlife that shares our island.  Free tickets available. Agenda below:
