Satuday May 30th - DUNWICH WILDLIFE SAFARI. 10.30 - 4.30pm
A day for wildlife lovers exploring shingle, marsh & heath at Dunwich - an expert-led 'safari' to discover & record species.
Dunwich is rich in wildlife for you to discover. We shall be running two day 'safaris' this summer led by expert naturalists to introduce you to the wealth of local wildlife, discovering and identifying plants of varied habitats (shingle, marsh, woodland and heath) and invertebrate inhabitants such as beetles and moths. You will be getting to know nature in depth!
These days are brought to you in partnership between Dunwich Museum and members of the Suffolk Naturalists’ Society who record the county’s species, with a grant from the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape Sustainable Development Fund. Each day will include introductions to key local habitats, with field excursions to find species and record them, with opportunities to examine the plants and animals more closely. We will contribute to knowledge about Suffolk biodiversity, as our species records will be sent to the county’s database, as well as enhancing our knowledge about Dunwich wildlife. Who know what we will find - perhaps an Ant Lion or a Horned Poppy?
These days will appeal to anyone interested in Suffolk's wonderful wildlife!
Saturday May 30th - "A love letter to East Suffolk" Photography talk by Richard Allenby-Pratt. 6pm
I'm Richard Allenby-Pratt and I've been recording rural life and landscapes for 'The Suffolk Project' for the last 8 years. Please join me for one of my village hall talks celebrating what I've seen and learned so far. I'll also be introducing my new oral histories initiative, recording the impacts of recent changes along the Suffolk coast.

Past Sessions
October 2021 - Autumn Activities
We walked through Greyfriars Woods to learn about the variety of plants and wildlife to be found in Dunwich in autumn. We collected leaves, seeds, feathers and chestnuts to make wreaths and other crafts. We also spotted a variety of fungi growing. Thinking about harvest time, we were shown some antique farming tools such as scythes, sickles, pitch forks and seed drills, and had a go at using them ourselves!
