Summer holiday activities
23rd July, 2010
Families are being invited to join Worcestershire Wildlife Trust for a series of wildlife events during the summer holidays.
The charity is running six holiday activities for children of all ages. Families will have the chance to go pond dipping, discover mini-beasts, find out about things with wings and learn about life in the sea.
Debs Bull, Education Officer for the Trust, explained “We’ve got a really exciting programme of activities for families of all ages this summer. Our Wildwatcher events are designed to help children discover more about their natural environment.
“This summer children can find out about the beasties in our pond, discover how bats, birds and bugs can take to the sky, and look for some amazing creatures in our garden. During each event there’s also a chance to get crafty making woodland monsters and creature creations, for example.”
The holiday activities run through August on Tuesdays and Thursdays (except 10th & 12th Aug) between 2pm and 4pm. Events cost £3 per child and booking is essential on 01905 754919.
