Event Description

Join Maisy and friends for a fun-filled adventure at the Ecology Centre as they search for the first signs of spring! 

Peek under logs to spot tiny minibeasts, watch wiggly tadpoles splashing in the pond, and discover the wonders of nature all around you. Then get your hands a little muddy as you plant your very own seed to take home and grow.

Come along for a springtime adventure full of discovery, nature, and fun!

Notes & Requirements

Important safety information: This course is an outdoor event (which will go ahead regardless of the weather) and walking conditions may be slightly muddy, and the weather unpredictable, so please make sure you and your child wear suitable clothing and footwear. The event is in a nature reserve, which means that there are the occasional stinging nettles and brambles, we advise that you and your child wear long trousers or leggings to minimise stings and scratches. There is also a higher risk of insect stings such as wasp or mosquito, if your child is allergic to stings, please ensure that you have their medication. You are required to stay with your child throughout the event and are responsible for your childs' behaviour and safety. Please take care not to disturb or damage any of the habitats, plants or animals living at the nature reserve and never touch or feed the foxes or ducks.
