The aim of this site is to bring together as much information about the wildlife and natural history of the Forest of Bowland as possible.

To help those who want to bird watch and watch hares and other mammals we also want it to become the best resource for those searching for wild flowers and anyone interested in the entomology of the Forest of Bowland.
