A free family event will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how a cherished landscape is maintained throughout the year.

The Malvern Hills Trust is hosting a relaxed discovery day on August 5, from 10am to 12pm, near the Lower Cockshot Road car park.

The event is open to all ages and will give visitors the chance to meet the team who care for the Malvern Hills and Commons, and learn about conservation work and environmental management.

Marie Dipple, community and conservation officer at the Malvern Hills Trust, said: "Many people enjoy visiting the Hills but don't always see the work that goes into caring for them.

"This event is a chance to meet the team, ask questions, learn about local wildlife, and discover how we look after these special places for both people and nature. We hope families will come along, have fun, and leave with a greater understanding of what makes the Malvern Hills so unique."

Attendees will also be able to see the Trust’s new robot mower, “David Mowie,” in action, and younger visitors can collect stamps in their Junior Ranger Passport.

Conservation finds and hands-on activities will be available throughout the morning.
