Welcome to DWT's Springwatch page - helping you make the most of the season!Spring is a great time to get out and about and enjoy Devon's wonderful wildlife in all its glorious colours. There is no better time, particularly if you have been inspired by BBC's Springwatch programme to get involved in our work, find out more about wildlife and help with our campaigns!
Try out DWT's five top tips for making the most of this fascinating season:
Five things to do this spring
- Getting excited about Springwatch? Get out there and make the most of the season at one of our spring events. Why not help our glow-worm campaign too and pop along to one of the special events?
Visit one of DWT's nature reserves. Many look great at this time of year. Spring favourites include Dunsford near Exeter or why not try listening out for nightjars at Bovey Heathfield?- Do something for wildlife in your garden this season - try some of the tips from our wildlife gardening pages
