About the event

Join some of our Durham Wildlife Trust staff at Low Barns Nature Reserve as we build a home for our smaller wildlife friends using natural materials. Attendees will have the opportunity to create their own minibeast house that they can then take home and place in their garden to provide an over wintering shelter for our smaller friends. 

Please be aware that while every effort will be made to allow each participant to create a box, we cannot guarantee we will have enough materials for more than one per person/family. We plan on hosting this workshop outdoors so please dress suitably for the weather. In the case of adverse weather, we will host this workshop indoors. 

We welcome everyone to attend but ask under 18s are accompanied by an adult as we will be handling hammers, nails and wood that may have sharp edges/splinters. 
The visitors centre at Low Barns has toilet facilities and a café.
