Wild Walk: Delamere Forest

Who can come?

This event is open to everyone! Mushroom enthusiasts, nature nerds and people who just like getting outdoors are all welcome. Well-behaved dogs who are kept on a lead when necessary are also very welcome to join.

What is a wild walk?

They’re a  chance for us to learn, connect and enjoy nature together - we explore a  green space at a leisurely pace, pointing out interesting plants or fungi we  come across. Sometimes we’ll talk about wild food and tasty  things you can forage, but this isn’t the primary focus. It’s a space  for us to share our knowledge rather than flaunt it - we’re far from  professional botanists so can’t identify everything and encourage others  to share what they know too!

Meeting points

Meet at Platt Fields Market Garden Car Park at 11:30am for a lift in the van from Manchester to Delamere Forest. Meet in Delamere Forest car park at 12.30 if you are happy making your own way there. Delamere Forest is 10 minutes walk from Delamere train station, which is a 1hr - 1hr 15 min journey from Stockport or Manchester Piccadilly. 

What to bring

We will likely grab a cup of tea / lunch before heading on the walk so please feel free to bring a packed lunch, snacks or money to grab something from the cafe, if you'd like.

Cash for parking if you are driving there and want to park in the Delamere Forest car park.

Sturdy, comfortable boots and weather appropriate clothing.

ID guides or hand lenses if you have them.
