About the event

Pack your picnic and grab your rug ready for some outdoor fun!

Come along and join our Pine Marten Picnic as part of the Great Big Green Week. 

Find us Mill Marsh Park in Bovey Tracey between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 14th June, along with lots of other conservation organisations, all gathering to celebrate the National Great Big Green Week.

Learn more about pine martens, meet some of the team and have fun family time, making masks or finger puppets, or just relaxing and making friends.

The event has lots going on throughout the day, so why not make a day trip out of it?

Looking for inspiration on what to pack in your picnic? 

1. Create sandwiches inspired by pine marten food sources like peanut butter, egg or jam for a delicious combination of savoury and sweet flavours.
2. Pine martens often consume nuts and seeds. Make a nutty trail mix with a variety of nuts, seeds, dried fruits.
3. Create a berry salad with a mix of fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a refreshing and colourful dessert that you would love as much as a pine marten!
4. Pine martens live in forested areas, and roasted root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes are a great way to evoke the earthy flavours of the woods.
5. For a playful dessert, create chocolate or peanut butter biscuits and use a paw print-shaped cookie cutter to make pine marten paw print cookies. 

Free and no booking required, we can't wait to celebrate pine martens with you!

This event is part of the Exmoor Nature Festival 2025 and part of the Two Moor Pine Pine Martens Bounce Back: The Two Moors Pine Marten Project. The project is reintroducing critically endangered pine martens to the South West of England, helping to restore natural balance to our much loved woodlands and bringing back these fascinating wild creatures to the landscapes where they once belonged. This project is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Forestry England and a number of generous donors.
