This informative event relates to the Sustainable Farming Initiative (SFI) moorland survey the Friends of Ilkley Moor have been undertaking on the Moor. Its purpose is to assess the condition of the vegetation, soil type and the degree of erosion present. Learn about the survey methodology and why it is being undertaken, it also offers the opportunity to take part in a trial survey of a small area.

Ilkley Moor is of course known for its wonderful moorland but on the lower reaches there are woodlands to be explored. This walk winds in and out of the atmospheric woods that form the lowest slopes of Ilkley Moor. There is some up-hill walking involved and the reward is lovely views of Ilkley and across the Wharfe Valley.
