Home-Ed Group: Children's Wildlife Wreath Making Workshop

Please note that this event is best suited to Home Educated children aged 6 and over. Our session takes place in areas of uneven terrain and involves a large about of walking, with the terrain being unsuitable for buggies and long distances between our Field Centre and reserve areas. It will also involve the use of equipment such as binoculars.

Meeting approximately every six weeks, Home-educated children and their parents/guardians regularly join us for a jam-packed adventurous, natured inspired mornings exploring our complex mixture of habitats, tracking a variety of different animals while learning about the natural heritage of our unique reserve. Children are encouraged to lead their own learning, doing as much for themselves as possible with help from accompanying adults. Great for problem-solving, communication, creativity and physical development.

Join us as we create a stunning festive wreath using sustainably sourced materials from our nature reserves and decorate with locally sourced natural foliage and food to entice wildlife into your garden this winter. We will provide all the materials and tools needed to create your wreath, as well a variety of decorative accessories. Our staff and volunteers will be on hand throughout to provide support or inspiration. You are welcome to bring along any of your own tools or materials if you wish. 

Weather depending, we will exploring our reserve for winter wildlife and be taking part in some festive fun!
