A message from the Trustees of Withymead
We are tentatively returning to business as normal at Withymead. The reserve has been open for booked visits since the beginning of April and we are planning to run our Cream Tea Open days at the end of June, July and August. However, as a regular supporter of Withymead Nature Reserve, we wanted you to be the first to know about a new venture.
We are planning to run a series of guided tours hosted, initially, by two of our Trustees – Steve Gozdz who is an experienced, local wildlife guide and Rebecca Russell, who has been a Trustee of the Anne Carpmael Charitable Trust for over 12 years. The first of these tours is to be on:
Saturday 26th June 9.30 – 12 noon
This tour will include information about the history, heritage, fauna and flora of the Withymead site.
If you wish to find out more about the tour, please follow the link on the home page of our Website www.withymead.org
We’d love to see you over the coming months whether for a private visit, a cream tea or as one of the first to book our Guided Tour.
Best wishes,
Jenny Hedge
Trustee

Covid19 & your safety (as of 14th April 2021)
Before each workshop, I will be checking Covid restrictions in order to maintain best practices for everyone's safety. Masks and gel will be available although I recommend you bring your own for hygiene reasons.
- If I need to postpone a workshop due to the Lockdown measures you can take either a full refund or an alternative date.
- Currently, workshops in the UK are limited to five participants, in accordance with official regulation, six with myself.
- Social distancing measures must be observed during all workshop activities.
- As I am running with smaller groups pre workshop chats and support can take place still and remain effective.
- Where possible stops for coffee/lunch will happen as long as we can find seating. Depending on the workshop I will advise on bringing packed lunches & drinks.
- If you have tested positive for the virus, or are symptomatic, you will not be able to attend the workshop and will be offered either a full refund or a place on a future workshop.
