Experience wildlife with the Trust's Out and About Club
11th March 2010
Spring Amphibian Hunt event
Saturday March 27th 2010, 2pm to 4pm
Breney Common, near Bodmin
What amazing amphibians can be found in Cornwall? What lurks in the depths of Breney’s ponds? What does the common frog look like in its various forms? To find answers to these questions, come along and explore Breney Common, one of Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s biggest nature reserves. The Trust’s Out and About Club is holding an exciting event with the Trust’s reptile expert to hand, who will show you the best places to look for exciting creatures such as lizards, grass snakes and adders.
Out and About Club events give Cornwall’s 11 to 16 year olds a chance to get ‘out and about’ and enjoy Cornwall’s wildlife. It began when Fox Club, the long running junior membership of the Trust, noticed that its events were always well attended by their younger members. However, there was not much to offer that age group, so now the Trust is trialling even more adventurous parent-free events for older kids. Kirstie Francis, Membership and Fox Club Co-ordinator of Cornwall Wildlife Trust says, “We have set up our Out and About Club for all the 11 to 16 year olds around Cornwall, so that they are able to join in our fantastic events too. We want to give them an opportunity to learn, engage with the outdoors and appreciate the wildlife that can be found around them”
The events are led by Cornwall Wildlife Trust staff and expert leaders, all Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checked and first aid trained. If you would like to attend this event booking is essential, as a consent form is required to be completed and returned to Cornwall Wildlife Trust before the event. Please contact Kirstie Francis on (01872) 273939 ext 203 or email to book. To find out more about other events please visit the Whats on pages.
