Seven year old Kodi (and ‘Junior Wetland Ranger’) took on the challenge and told us what he loved about his visit: “I loved catching Newts, Dragonflies & Diving beetles when pond dipping – they’re amazing!”
First time visitors, the Henderson family said: “A very inspirational, educational but mostly FUN! Afternoon for the family. Thoroughly recommend.”
As well as Junior Wetland Rangers there’s loads of reasons to visit us during the summer holidays including our summer wildflower meadow trail, art exhibitions and seasonal events.
