Held at Feanedock in the National Forest and organised by Wild Rumpus, Timber attracted over 5,000 attendees for an incredible weekend where we were all encouraged to fall under nature's spell! We had a fantastic time engaging with people from all over the country, and ran activities such as a butterfly walk and bug hunt throughout the weekend.

On the Friday evening we ran a bat walk, which attracted over 100 people - a record for us! Andy Neilson and Jo Taylor escorted the crowd to some hotspots around the site and spotted some noctules and heard some pipistrelles on the bat detectors as they went round.

On Saturday, Chris Hill took a large group on a Botany Walk around the festival. Wild Rumpus also built a fantastic Moth Hotel where wildlife enthusiasts could discover a wide range of moths, from a beautiful elephant hawk moth to a swallow-tailed moth, with our volunteer moth expert Finn. This inspired the younger crowd on the Sunday morning to create their own woodland creature in the festivals workshop!

It was so good to talk to so many people about Nextdoor Nature, Team Wilder, the Osprey Project, our conservation work and our Patron Sir David Attenborough, and we look forward to meeting you all again at Timber in 2024!
