Studland is a wonderful place to follow nature through the seasons. We will provide resources and a staff or volunteer led session , with activities such as arts and crafts, spotter walks and scavenger hunts. The sessions are free but we do ask you to book in advance for the number of children you are bringing.
They will generally take place on the 2nd Monday of each month, but please check dates on the website for any variation. They will only run during term time, based on Dorset and BCP schools. For the remainder of this year, we run the following sessions-
October - woodland scavenge and arts and crafts. November - fabulous fungi - spotter walk and work on a giant fungi picture together. December - Winter beach scavenge and festive arts and crafts
