Wildlife Watch: Adventure, craft and fun in the outdoors. Grown-ups can even join in too!
To coincide with the Big Butterfly Count 2025, this month we’ll heading to the meadow to do our own count. We’ll also take out sweep nets to see what other invertebrates we can find.
Meet inside at Rainton Meadows Visitor Centre. Wear suitable outdoor clothing: warm clothes, waterproofs and sturdy footwear such as boots or wellies. 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.
