This month, come along as we find and identify a range of minibeasts in different habitats, learn about ways to catch and observe them and why they are so important.

Itinerary

After meeting in the main carpark, we will head to the woodland education area. Family groups will work together to find and identify minibeasts and create their own minibeast zoo. Groups will also be able to try sweep netting. Once complete, we'll have a campfire snack and share our zoo tours. Finally, family groups will use tools to make a mini insect hotel to take away.

This session will complete 2/8 activities needed to earn the Wildlife Trust Hedgehog Award.

Children must be accompanied by at least one adult.
