A chance to explore the Forest of Dean at dusk and spot some of its shy mammals including wild boar, fallow deer and foxes. Birdlife includes mandarin ducks, song thrushes and tawny owls alongside chances of dipper, grey wagtail and kingfisher

Ed is able to offer flexible walks and wildlife experiences for individuals, couples and groups of all ages, throughout the year.

Ed lives locally in the Forest of Dean and has been working across the west, showing people wildlife, teaching birdsong and developing learning resources for schools, for the past 20 years. Ed often advises the BBC, including Springwatch, on wildlife and used to be a reporter for BBC Natural History Radio.

We walk approx 1.5 miles (2.4km) at a steady or slow pace taking in the scenery, sounds and wildlife along the way. Walking is along main forest, well surfaced tracks while we are able to venture off onto smaller paths and gentle uphill or downhill terrain.
