Activities across different sessions may include:

  • Wildlife identification
  • Wellbeing/nature journalling
  • Guided walks

Each session will last for 2 hours.

Join us for a guided walk to learn how to identify bird species we find along Chesil Beach and Fleet Lagoon, which are internationally recognised sites for wildlife conservation.
