Join in with Wildlife Watch

By Ali Nott, Wildlife Watch Coordinator

We are thrilled to have launched two new Wildlife Watch groups this year, which means there are lots more opportunities lined up for children and families to meet others who share a love of the outdoors and to develop a real connection to the natural environment.

Wiltshire Wildlife Trust now has five active Wildlife Watch groups, which usually meet on a Saturday morning once a month: Lower Moor in the north of the county, Salisbury in the south, Green Lane Wood and Calne to the west and Pewsey to the east.

Wildlife Watch groups give children aged 4-13 the opportunity to discover local wildlife and get stuck into practical activities such as bat walks, pond dipping, creating homes for wildlife and campaigning to protect our environment. Children have lots of fun being nature detectives and making new friends whilst making a real difference to wildlife in Wiltshire.

We are looking to set up new Wildlife Watch groups in Swindon and Langford Lakes. If you are interested, contact Ali Nott at alin@wiltshirewildlife.org.
