Young Ranger Days
A great opportunity to be a ranger for the day!
- Booking essential
- Admission applies
Help monitor the moths at Wicken Fen, then learn how the ponies help us manage the nature reserve. If time allows we will squeeze in a practical task or two. After a break for lunch we will either survey the butterfly population in the woodland walk, or dissect owl pellets to discover what the owls have been eating. For children aged 7-12 years.
Please note: Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who must also book a ticket. We'll be walking 2-3 miles, so bear this in mind before booking and please do not bring younger siblings this time!
