About this Event

Wildlife Watch: Adventure, craft and fun in the outdoors. Grown-ups can even join in too!

In this session we will be learning about ‘No Mow May’ – what it is and the benefits for minibeasts.

Meet inside Rainton Meadows Visitor Centre. Wear suitable outdoor clothing (long trousers and sleeves recommended) and sturdy footwear. You can bring a hot/cold drink and snacks, although these are available at our cafe.

Members and non-members welcome. Booking is essential and children must be accompanied by a supervising adult. Tickets are only required for children. Please provide a contact telephone number when booking. As places are limited, if you are unable to attend, please email us so that we may offer the space to another participant.
