Our sites have a wonderful range of habitats where many mini beasts can be found. We will take a very close look at what lives in and around the different environments and compare what we find. Using age appropriate classification keys and equipment we will identify different living things we find along the way and see how animals are grouped and sorted. This is a hands on day which can be adapted.

Example Timetable

This course usually runs from 10am – 2.30pm but times can be adjusted to suit your group and travel plans. During your visit you will be welcome to the centre and given an appropriate health and safety briefing. During the day we will undertake a number of activities, games and investigations (the exact activities will depend on the topic chosen). We will break for lunch at a suitable time. Please note that specific activities for your group are subject to change. We go out in all weathers and seasons and will tailor the content of the day accordingly. Some activities are only offered at certain times of the year.
