This Photographic Early Spring Nature Walk is a guided walk through Cassiobury Nature Reserve led by Andrew Lalchan (local photographer), on Wednesday 11th March from 11am – 1.30pm. You can explore spring in the woods & nature reserve.

This walk offers opportunities to take nature photos and Andrew will be on hand to provide advise. As it’s likely to be muddy in the park, strong footwear is needed.

They will meet at the Cassiobury Park Hub which is near the paddling pool.

Cost: £5, click through on the ticket link which goes to Meetup, you can then pay using Paypal (£4) or you can pay cash £5 on the day.  https://www.meetup.com/Watford-Photography-Meetup/events/266917855?fbclid=IwAR0DECKG_XW2vutVH9wCKnJ4Nhn1AkseReZYaGXxvexv8SR4c_ZYQRqCGvg
