This years Heritage Week theme is “Heritage at Risk”. Take a walk along a forgotten transport route and get to know the wildflowers before they too become relics.
These are the same plants our forebears foraged for food, tools, and medicine. They’re part of the fabric of our stories and support our lives just the same today.
Today they are largely forgotten, invisible workhorses keeping our world turning. This Heritage Week, reconnect with nature as you learn how to identify our native wildflowers and hear their stories.
Join a fascinating walk along the canal at Milford weir, joining the Barrow, along the once major travel route. Learn about our biodiversity. The uses of plants past and present will be shared, including whether they’re edible or not.
