Come join us Nature Watch: aimed to encourage children's interest in nature through fun educational activities. This month we will be learning about freshwater habitats and water wildlife. Starting with an indoor craft activity before we head outside onto the nature reserve to enjoy pond dipping* and discover all the wonderful wildlife we can find living in and around the pond.
* Please note all children will require close adult supervision by their parent/guardian around the pond edge.

For accompanied children aged 4-11.
The session starts at 10:30am and finishes at 12noon.
Session costs £1.50 per child - pay by cash or bank transfer.
First session is free and all sessions are included in SVSC membership.
We are limited to 15 participants, so sessions are on a first come first served basis. No pre-booking isn't required, but you can help us to monitor potential numbers by selecting 'going' on the event page. If on the rare occasion the session is full you are welcome to take a scavenger hunt sheet and enjoy a walk around the nature reserve instead.
Any questions, just ask!
Dress for sunshine, rain, wind, or cold (bring wellies if you have them, or shoes you don't mind getting muddy!)
Drink and a snack is provided. Please let us know in advance if you have any allergies.
All children must be accompanied by a parent or carer/guardian.
