Come and explore our Wetland Discovery Trail.  Find out which creatures lurk in the ponds, follow the animal footprints and do a spot of brass rubbing.

Wetland Discovery Trail Days are primarily targeted at Key Stage 1. They offer an excellent opportunity to take learning outside so that the children can discover more about their local environment.

The programme is designed to last a half day. However, a full day can be arranged if the school/group wishes to expand the range of activities.  

Many of the outdoor activities are designed for six groups of children and we recommend that each group is accompanied by at least one adult.

For more information please look at our sample days and what you need.
