About this Event

Bring your family on a wildlife adventure with us, this Easter school holiday. The tide will be in, so we'll be exploring the grassland and scrubland of the beautiful Naze. We'll be finding out what wildlife lives here, with lots of fun outdoor activities, such as bug hunting, bird spotting, and hunting for mammal tracks and signs. All equipment needed will be provided, and our friendly leaders will provide guidance.
