| Description | At Brimpts Farm, Dartmeet PL20 6SG Start your day with a chance to make an amazing Flower Fairy House amongst the beautiful meadows of Dartmoor. Join Naturemake for this earlybird workshop to create these wonderful homes. There will be a range of activities going on throughout the day so why not stick around after the workshop to explore this wonderful place. (Naturemake will be running a drop in session throughout the day on a first come first served basis so this is the best way to guarantee your chance to make one) There is a charge of £4 per person to cover materials payable on the day. To book contact Andy at info@moorthanmeetstheeye.org Please note the Dartmoor Classic Cycle Ride across Dartmoor is also taking place on Sunday. This should have only limited impact on those attending the event. Coming up the Dart Valley from Ashburton there is a short length on the approach down to Holne Bridge then going up the hill and turning off for Holne where you will share the road with riders. There are no road closures in this area but event attendees should factor in a little extra time to travel safely. From the Holne turning to Brimpts Farm is not on the cycle route so should be accessible as normal. Details of the exact routes can be found here www.dartmoorclassic.co.uk |

The Moor than meets the eye Barbastelle Bats project in the Bovey Valley Woods (part of East Dartmmor NNR) is still helping scientists understand more about bats to help with future conservation. Last year researchers from Bristol University led a bat radio tracking project to look at these rare creatures. This summer Dr. Orly Razgour, a research fellow from the University of Southampton has started to survey these East Dartmoor bats as part of her European-wide genetic research project on bat responses to global climate change. So far, Dr. Razgour has gathered information on barbastelles from Morocco to Sweden and, for a few nights in August, she brought her survey equipment to the Bovey Valley Woods.
