Wild Wednesdays

About

Beautiful Butterflies- using sweep nets in the meadow
Wild Wednesdays are an hour of hands-on activities for children and their parents to experience local wildlife. Using the range of habitats at our site, each day has a different theme to introduce the creatures large and small who live alongside us all the time. We focus on the joy that experiencing nature brings, with a little bit of learning along the way. We hope you will come away with the curiosity to go exploring in your own local area and find out more.
Suitable for 5–11-year-olds.
