About the event

Purbeck’s lowland heathland is home to a wide range of specialist plants and animals, including all 5 of the UKs reptile species. Join wildlife expert David Brown to find out about the area’s wildlife and management, including plans to create a vast new National Nature Reserve in Purbeck to enable this very special landscape to be managed as a whole.

This event is part of our Landscape for Life Festival, celebrating 60 years of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

We’ve asked some very special people who live and work in this rich and vibrant landscape to share the places they love with you. Join artists, story-tellers, wildlife experts, geologists, farmers, archaeologists to uncover what makes the landscape so outstanding… and find your own place to love along the way.
