Tips for an enjoyable field trip

    • Always wear strong shoes
    • Bring sun protection cream and a sunhat in hot weather
    • Bring something to drink
    • Bring insect repellent
    • All dogs must be kept under control
    • Dark glasses should be worn at evening moth events
    • If you decide to leave an event before the end, please tell the leader that you are going
    • It is recommended you bring binoculars especially if looking for woodland butterflies
    • If new to butterfly identification bring along a field guide*

    *The Branch Sales Stand sells a good selection of guides.  Contact Malcolm Hull (01727 857893) for more information

    Bad weather
    Leaders will be at the meeting point whatever the weather, but may cancel the event if conditions are unsuitable

    Special needs
    Unfortunately, most field trips will not be suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs. Please contact the field trip leader in advance if you have any concerns about accessibility

    Public Transport
    We have tried to give as much information as possible, although unfortunately some of the Hertfordshire events are not easily accessible by public transport. Train times should be checked, as timetables change and engineering works take place on Saturdays & Sundays.
