About the event

This will be a chance to get some hands-on conservation experience with woodland management.

This is a wildlife watch event for children aged 5-15 years. Children must be accompanied by adults.

Spaces are limited for families, if possible we ask that each child is accompanied by one adult, if you would like extra adults to attend please ask before booking. Otherwise the group becomes to large and less manageable.

Adults cannot book without booking a child ticket. If you arrive as an adult without a child, you will be turned away.

Thank you for your understanding.

If you need to make a booking but the bookings have closed or cannot attend please contact Clare to check.

What to bring

We will be working in the woodland using hand tools (loppers and saws) to cut down some small trees.  There will be uneven ground and multiple trip hazards so suitable footwear and care will be needed.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and activity.  Please bring gloves. Do not bring your own tools, tools are provided.
