10.30am to 12.30pm

Bring your children along to explore the natural world.  This will involve getting to know the forest school site exploring Tilgate's habitats and of course more fire and bushcraft activities.  

Wildlife watch clubs are based on Forest School principles, providing a wonderful opportunity for children aged 5 to 11 to experience and learn from nature.  They will be encouraged to tackle hands-on outdoor activities, work co-operatively with others, and have an opportunity to gain a sense of achievement whilst developing social skills and boosting confidence.

Sessions are themed around the changing seasons and discovering how to help wildlife thrive.

Meet outside the Walled Garden Cafe, Tilgate Park, Titmus Drive, Tilgate, Crawley, RH10 5PQ, which is a ten minute walk from the forest school site. Free parking available, directions will be sent upon booking.

NEW WILDLIFE WATCH GROUP GUIDELINES ARE IN PLACE IN RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS

As you are aware, the Coronavirus pandemic means that we have to be extremely careful about taking care of the health and wellbeing of all staff, volunteers and participants at our events.  We will provide a bottle of sanitiser so all attendees (staff, volunteers, parents and children) must thoroughly sanitise their hands before and after the session, and during as required.  We will facilitate activities in order that separate households can maintain social distancing as much as is practically possible, while enjoying their time with us.

Our social distancing guidelines are being reviewed regularly; Numbers will be restricted to help facilitate social distancing between staff, volunteers and family groups. The responsibility for managing distancing of their self and their child remains with the accompanying adult. We reserve the right to adjust our social distancing measures in the light of Government advice and Sussex Wildlife Trust Policy. 

Adults will be required to wear a face covering for short periods of time while engaged in tasks which require working close to another adult, such as bracing wood while their child is sawing. We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the group if they do not comply with our terms and conditions so we ask that you please read the following information carefully BEFORE booking  

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please wear suitable clothing and sturdy boots/wellingtons. 

Sorry no dogs.

Booking essential
