Discover hidden worlds

Join our fun-gal Gemma from the Help Nature Thrive team as we take a walk through the park to identify and record fungi and learn about their importance within a healthy and sustainable ecosystem.

On this 1.5 hour beginners guided walk we will discuss fungi identification, citizen science recording, woodland ecology and climate resilience.

This introductory session is aimed at adults with an interest in learning more about the natural world. 

  • The Regent's Park walk starts at the Waterside Café and ends near Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.
  • The Bushy Park walk starts and finishes at the Pheasantry Café.

This opportunity and the Help Nature Thrive project are possible thanks to Postcode Lottery players.
