264 children received a free and healthy Picnic Bag at our Picnic in the Park. It was due to be hosted on Sunday but due to a yellow weather warning it had to be changed to the nearest dry day, which was Tuesday, coincidentally 'Be the Change Youth Project' was also hosting an event and kindly allowed us to join them at Leverhulme Park, visitors went between the two events with an estimated num...

We found where the Roe Deer sleep and captured Bolton's wildlife like never before, with multiple trail cameras over the last month in our local country parks of Moses Gate and Leverhulme park. Promoting awareness of our green spaces as part of the GMEF project houses to habitats.

Rare footage we've captured of the Wildman of the forest, filmed on trail camera at 2am in the morning, at Moses Gate. Disclaimer: This is not part of any grant funded project being run by Bolton NEWT.

We carried a massive balsam bash on 3,000 sqm of land that contained almost exclusively balsam at Leverhulme Park. In between the kids slashing through the forest, we provided drinks and soft archery. A big thank you to the volunteers for such dedication in clearing such a massive amount of green space, we'll be back again in less than two weeks to continue the work but this time with bacon but...

Beautiful short film by local Photographer Peter Hunter as he caught our Breightmet fox with her cubs. Sadly the area is due for housing, which is why what remains is so important to protect and enhance for our local wildlife.

In a secret place, we followed and filmed three fox cubs over the last month.

Work commenced on the wetland with our Sunday Little NEWTS taking back the bulrush and enhancing the water retention at duck pond. Bacon butties for all with an added extra of letting the kids film the day's session, showing the older teens how to use a DSLR.

The Tawny Owl at Leverhulme Park feeding it's chick at night, while during the day being harassed by Squirrels and Magpies.

We filmed the Roe Deer over 22 days at Leverhulme Park and caught one Roe Deer Buck with an unusual display in their antlers..

A fantastic turn out of 25 volunteers as we raked the cut grass from around the orchard, sowed wildflower seeds in the bare soil, followed by a game of tag to stamp the seeds in. Soft archery, bacon barms, brews and biscuits but most importantly kids getting out with their families just enjoying being outdoors, like we all need regardless our age.

In the secret parts of Bolton's wildlife corridors, that involve 3 foot of silt, we filmed with trail cameras over the last two weeks and this is what we captured. Enjoy!

Peter was kind enough to let us stitch together some of his fantastic Roe Deer footage taken around Breightmet and Darcy Lever. Enjoy!

A fantastic turn out today for our Easter Event at Leverhulme Park, 335 Easter eggs handed out to local kids, kindly donated by Stuart and Adele. Let us know in the comments below if you enjoyed today's activities and we estimate in total we had between 550 to 650 people attend in the two hour event. A massive thank you goes out to the lads from the Oasthouse Estate for volunteering today, we'l...
