We start on a 1 mile walk around The Avenue Country Park exploring the nature around us.
At the end of the walk you will get a chance to do some bug netting and have a go at identifying what insects are roaming through the grasses. You will also get to have a go at pond dipping and see what creatures are hiding below the water!
Bring binoculars if you have them. Sturdy footwear advised.
