Ever wondered what really comes out in the woods at night? If so, then why not join Mid Suffolk Countryside Rangers on an exploration of Priestly Wood at the end of the month. 

You will be able to discover the world of the owl and the badger and find out how great your night vision is. The rangers will also be on hand to point out stars that you can use to help you navigate your way round in the dark evenings.

Tim Dafforn, Countryside Ranger for Mid Suffolk District Council said: “This is an amazing adventure for adults and children, to be safely guided through an ancient wood in the dark. People will be presently surprised about how much the wood comes alive with animals and birds in the dark.”

The event will be run on Thursday 30 October 2008 from 7pm-9pm. Participants will meet at Barking Church, Barking Road nr Needham Market and be guided across to the woods. Adults are £2.50 and concessions are £1.50. Booking is essential as numbers are limited, so please call:  01449 724633. Unfortunately, this is not suitable for children under the age of eight.
