Habitat Studies

Explore our woodland habitats to find out which minibeasts live there.

© A young explorer uses a net to investigate life in a river stream.

Enhance your pupils’ understanding of woodland habitats through our immersive Habitat Studies.

What to Expect:

  • Minibeast Investigation: Pupils will explore one of our woodland habitats to discover and identify the minibeasts that live there.
  • Creature Classification: Students will classify the creatures found in the pond and woodland, examining their behaviour, food choices, and adaptations to their environment and place in the wider ecosystem.
  • Choose your Location: The Habitat Studies take place either at Greno Nature Reserve or Ecclesall Woods, providing diverse and rich environments for exploration.

For younger visitors, we offer ‘Woodland Creatures,’ an age-appropriate exploration without the pond, featuring extra sensory additions to engage and delight.
