Wildlife Watch events
Our monthly Wildlife Watch events are an exciting way for children to get to know Norfolk’s special wildlife. From bats and butterflies to fantastic fungi, each session investigates a cool wildlife highlight and how we can take action for nature. Our sessions are mainly based at our wonderful NWT Hickling Broad. Booking is essential.
