The Beeston Wildlife Group has released its 2026 programme, offering Beeston residents a series of monthly evening talks (during the indoor talks season) and year‑round guided outdoor walks and activities. These sessions help local people learn more about nature while supporting conservation work in partnership with the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.
This year’s programme includes presentations on British birds, insect life cycles and spiders. The programme also includes international wildlife topics, with talks listed on Svalbard and Botswana to place local conservation in a wider global context.
Indoor meetings are normally held at 7:30 PM on the third Monday of each month during the indoor talks season (typically September–April) at Trent Vale Infant School, Beeston Rylands (NG9 1LP). Admission is currently A34 for adults (children free), payable on the door; proceeds support the group’s activities and local conservation work in partnership with Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. Monthly guided walks around Attenborough Nature Reserve are also organised (meet at the reserve car park for the scheduled walk times).
These events also provide a route for residents to get involved with volunteering at Attenborough Nature Reserve. The group was recognised at the 2025 Wilder Nottinghamshire Awards for its ongoing work maintaining local habitats and the Attenborough wildlife garden.
