Tree seed and nut search

Join us at Springwater Farm, nr Killerton, Exeter to try out your tree ID skills, help collect tree seeds and nuts, and search for signs of dormice.

Develop and practice your tree species identification skills, look for and collect tree seeds and nuts and learn how to process them to help ensure they grow. We'll also be searching for any signs of dormice by hunting for nibbled hazelnuts on parts of the farm. Plus, learn more about the Connecting people and landscapes project and how you can develop your wildlife knowledge and surveying skills.
