Buglife letterbox trail

Buglife have hidden five letterboxes around the Parke Estate. Can you find them all?

Each letterbox represents a different species that Buglife is working to protect. Find all the boxes to learn more about these incredible species, and collect stamps along the way!

You can download an activity sheet from the Buglife website - buglife.org.uk/moor-invertebrates-trail, or collect one from outside the National Trust office.
