Photography Guided Walk

3 June 2008

Wildlife and landscapes will be the focus of a free special walk being held by Telford and Wrekin Council's Landscape and Recreation Service on Saturday 14 June.

The beginners guide will highlight how to photograph wildlife such as the Peacock butterfly, the lush pink Common Orchids or even the vibrant Kingfisher at Telford Town Park's Local Nature Reserve.

Set to take place between 10am and 12pm, the free guided walk will also give people the chance to learn how to creatively photograph in the natural outdoors where wild corners are crucial habitats for a variety of wildlife.

Cllr Denis Allen, Cabinet Member for Community Services said "What better way to capture Mother Nature in all its glory. The guided walk offers budding photographers the chance to learn some essential tips and to enjoy all that Telford Town Park has to offer."

Hema Kasi-Patel, Telford and Wrekin Council's Parks and Recreation Development Officer, said "The nature reserve attracts a variety of wildlife and is a haven for various species, both on the ground and in the air."

Booking is essential for the forthcoming walk, which is approximately a mile long. The walk is suitable for adults and walkers are asked to meet Spout Farm House at Telford Town Park. Participants are advised to wear suitable outdoor clothing and stout footwear.

People wanting to book a place or find out more should call the Alec Connah on 07752 738346.
