The Bystock and Exmouth Devon Wildlife Trust group is hosting the event at Bystock Nature Reserve, at the top of Hulham Road.
During the day there will be a host of displays and children's activities.
Cat Loudwill-Jones from Devon Wildlife Trust, who is running the event in conjunction with Exmouth DWT Local Group, said: "Bystock is one of DWT's best heathland nature reserves with good access and an excellent range of habitats including a meadow, ponds and woodland fringe.
"People can expect to see a wide range of typical heathland wildlife including birds, butterflies and many species of dragonfly. "Our members provide a significant proportion of our income each year so it is great to be offering them an opportunity to see what their money helps to support."
