About the event

Wildlife Watch: Adventure, craft and fun in the outdoors. Grown-ups can even join in too!

This session we will be conducting a water survey – we’ll be dipping with nets to see what pond life we can identify at this time of year.

Meet inside at Rainton Meadows Visitor Centre. Wear suitable outdoor clothing (long trousers and sleeves are recommended), sturdy footwear such as boots or wellies. You can bring a hot/cold drink and snacks, although these are available at our cafe.

Members and non-members welcome. Booking is essential and children must be accompanied by a supervising adult. Tickets are only required for children. Please provide a contact telephone number when booking. As places are limited, if you are unable to attend, please email us so that we may offer the space to another participant.
