Wildlife School Day Visits School Trip

• Invertebrates & their Habitats: Embark on a minibeast hunt looking in various habitats such as tree, leaf litter, and meadows collecting creatures before discovering their identity and their preference for their habitats.

• Freshwater Ecology/Pondering about Ponds: Visit our lakes looking for aquatic creatures! Using your net, collection trays and identification cards, we head out learning about water, its qualities and who lives beneath the surface.

• Birds & their Abilities: Ever wondered how birds fly? or why some have different wing shapes? We look at adaptations and how these work for a range of different bird species by looking at skulls, wings and bones. Then head out with our binoculars and put our new-found knowledge into practice!

• Bees, Pollen & Plants: How do plants produce pollen and why is it important? Learn about the benefits of pollinators, and what makes a pollinator through our educational session targeted at one of our favourite creatures.. bees! Have a gander at the various plants around the Garden before looking at butterflies, bees and how exact they collect the pollen.
