Due to Covid-19 we have had to cancel courses from March to 1st August, we hope you will find an event later in the year that you can attend.

Use lenses of all types to look closely at Nature. We will use hand lenses, and microscopes to look at nature in detail. Using cameras / camera phones we will capture the wonder of nature by taking photos and sharing them with others.

Tutor: Field Studies Council Staff

Courses are led by experienced Field Studies Council staff.

FSC want to inspire people to be curious, caring and passionate about our environment. Our family activities are designed to do just that. Led by FSC staff, they are based outdoors, and explore the natural world. The sessions are a mix of games and activities that will inspire you to find out more and discover how you can help wildlife on your doorstep. To take part you do not need any experience or any expensive kit, just an enthusiasm for being outside and discovering nature.

The event takes place in Wanstead Park E12 5 London.

This event is supported by grant funding from City of London Corporation’s ‘Enjoying Green Spaces and the Natural Environment’ strand of the Central Grants Programme. Find out more about this project.
