Exploring Wetlands
Explore the wildlife and landscapes to be found at a local wetland! This two-hour workshop will allow pupils to experience pond dipping and mini-beast hunting, as well as learn about flooding and how wetlands like Centenary Riverside help protect our homes and provide a home for nature at the same time! Centenary Riverside is a hidden gem in an urban jungle with lagoon, pond, river and wildflower meadow habitats to explore.
