A fun-packed adventure on the wild side for the whole family.
Have you ever wondered what creepy crawlies call your garden home or what furry friends scurry outside your window at night? Finding out who your wildlife neighbours are is a tricky business! Lucky for you, CAT’s expert team are on hand for an exciting day of wildlife exploring.
On this bite-size Nature Detectives family experience day, you will delve deeper into two crucially important habitats – Woodlands and Waterworlds!
With a flexible programme of events designed to be a huge amount of fun whatever the weather or season, try your hand at anything from woodland canopy bug hunts and mammal tracking to setting camera traps, conducting meadow wildlife surveys and pond dipping.
With loads of great ideas to practice at home and plenty of new skills to learn, you’ll finish the day at CAT a true nature detective!
