About the event

There will be lots of activities to take part in as we head out onto the reserve looking for wildlife, and may include:

- Checking the moth trap

- Bird watching from our hides

- Looking for minibeasts in the woods

Suitable for age 5+

Children must be accompanied by an adult and children will at all times be the responsibility of the accompanying adult(s).

All equipment provided. 

Booking is essential via Eventbrite.

There are no cafe facilities on site so we recommend bringing a picnic to enjoy after the activities. We will gladly refill any water bottles as required - just ask a member of staff or volunteer.
