On Saturday 14th July David Bellamy, OBE and former Sutton Grammar School boy, will be leading a natural history walk around Nonsuch Park, starting at 10.30am on the lawn in front of Nonsuch Mansion. Mr Bellamy was inspired to change to botany & zoology by a science teacher at Sutton Grammar School in his 6th form, and his internationally renowned status as a great botanist on TV & in his 45 books can be traced back to that time at Sutton Grammar School!
So do come along, listen and get involved, as it is not every day you can be informed enthusiastically about the plants and other species of a nearby place by a TV botanic icon. Other activities on the day will also include a spider safari with national spider expert Tom Thomas, and seeking out snail species and other wildlife with Dr June Chatfield, expert & author.
