Experience a rewarding morning of conservation as part of the Heritage Open Day Series, where the team will be getting hands-on to help nature thrive on one of our most distinctive geological features—Blisworth Limestone bedrock.

Parking is available nearby at the Memorial Hall a 5 minute walk away. There is secure cycle parking at this location too or you can bring your bike to the meeting/activity point (What3Words for parking: pets.showrooms.decent).

Blisworth Limestone is a unique a rich part of our local geological heritage and provides a unique home for specialist mosses, lichens, invertebrates, and wildflowers. Over time, these features can become lost to scrub, moss and vegetation. By clearing the rock face and creating bare earth patches; are two important actions that help support a rich variety of wildlife and preserve our natural heritage. You might even find some fossils too!
