An opportunity to meet at the weekend, chat and share experiences, enjoy being outside in nature, and learning from our guide Ailsa!

Meet Up - Autumn Nature Walk & Talk

Location to be confirmed - Wokingham/Bracknell

Saturday 5th September - 10.30am

We're delighted to welcome back the lovely Ailsa who we originally met in August 22 who will guide us with a countryside walk, telling us about all the wonders of nature.

Ailsa's enthusiasm is infectious and whilst we amble through nature she has a wealth of knowledge about plants, animals and birds. We can guarantee that you will learn something new!

Come along and join us to get to know others that understand how your cancer diagnosis may have made you feel - as well as the complexities of treatment and the journey you find yourself on.

Please ensure that you wear appropriate clothing, sturdy footwear and waterproof clothes depending on the weather.

Enjoy this Wildlife Spotting walk among the paths and trails of the route, led by our expert bird and wildlife whizz - Ailsa!

We will have the chance to get a drink in the cafe at the end of the walk - let's hope the sun is out so that we can sit outside. You can continue to chat with new found friends who are a wonderfully supportive group of people.

This is an opportunity to get together at the weekend. If you would like to bring a friend or family member please just book them a space too. Children are welcome.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome but please be mindful of those that are worried by them.

About AilsaI was quite shocked when a friend of mine recently asked me, 'Don't you ever get bored with birds?' How could I!? I've been mad about birds since I was a child, and my enthusiasm and knowledge grew when I worked for the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and the RSPB.

I am a regular volunteer with the British Trust for Ornithology and with the Berks, Bucks and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust, three of whose reserves feature in my walks.

Now that I have retired from a long career in teaching, I want to share my passion for nature, and literature, and to raise awareness and understanding of the wonders and vulnerability of the natural world around us.

My favourite recent wildlife encounters have been with a family of Peregrine Falcons, whose four babies have been practising their flying skills, not always successfully; I was one of the volunteers who took part in Flop Watch ready to rescue any of the youngsters that landed on the ground below their roof-top home.

The Cancer Support Network has been established to support people living in and around Wokingham and Bracknell, Berkshire that are affected by cancer.

Meeting other people with similar experiences can be invaluable. Self-help and support groups offer a chance for people to talk to others and come together to share experiences and concerns.
