The Parks Trust, the self-financing charity that looks after more than 6,000 acres of parkland in Milton Keynes, has joined forces with local nature groups to create an entire day dedicated to celebrating Milton Keynes’ natural world, and everyone is invited!
Love Nature Day takes place on Saturday 2 July from 11am until 4pm at Howe Park Wood and aims to bring local people close up to nature. There will be lots of fun things to do inside Howe Park Wood’s Education and Visitor Centre, and even more to explore outside in the stunning local woodland which is home to a wide array of species.
What’s in store:
Bug-hunt and pond-dip to find minibeasts
Enjoy guided walks around the ancient woodland with RSPB
Watch a bird-ringing demonstration and hear why it matters
View exciting specimens provided by the Natural History Museum at Tring
Speak with experts from UK Astronomy about how to safely observe the sun
See beautiful living moths close up
Meet North Bucks Bat Group and ask all about fascinating flying mammals
Observe honeybees at work in their hive

Howe Park Wood has great facilities for visitors including Grounds café and public toilets. Parking is limited on site but there’s plenty of space at Westcroft shopping centre.
