August Antics
Thursday, August 11th 2011
The children that came to today's 'Wet Wildlife' event really enjoyed their pond-dipping. Afterwards, they made frog masks to take home. There is a whole series of exciting wildlife workshops planned for the rest of this month suitable for families, please see the events section for details.
In the afternoon, a group from Low Mill Outdoor centre enjoyed a walk around the reserve too. Amongst the many flowers out in bloom now are Grass of Parnassus and the beautiful Pepper Saxifrage.
