Wild Things

Donate

Join our Wild Things group and have fun exploring the natural world! We do all sorts of wheelchair accessible activities including fungus forays, pond dipping, bird watching, seal watching, small mammal trapping and much more!

We also have an annual ‘Wild Things Residential’; we’ve recently been to Sherwood Forest and Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near Morecambe Bay.

I love getting out in the fresh air, meeting new people and listening to the bird song. My favourite is the Blackbird – my Dad used to do a great impression of one when I was young so I always recognise the call.

We have taken the decision to temporarily pause all of our face to face activities due to the latest national lockdown.

Staff will be in the office, or working from home, so do call us on 01423 507227 or 07875 288605 if we can help with anything or you want a chat.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
