About the event
Shropshire is one of only a few English counties with England's rarest mammal hiding in its forests. Join Stuart Edmunds from Shropshire Mammal Group and learn how to track pine martens and check camera traps to see if any have been recorded in the woodlands next to The Stiperstones.
The session will involve some walking on uneven terrain and away from the beaten track, so sturdy footwear is recommended (and a drink if the weather is hot!).
This is part of a range of activities Shropshire Wildlife Trust is offering specifically for young people aged 16-25.
