February half term: Build a bird box
We're getting hands-on to help birds this February half term.
- Booking not needed
Build a bird box from scratch and learn about the birds it may attract to nest in your garden (or in a friend’s, relative’s or your school’s garden). By spring there might be a feathered family in it!
When you're done, you can tick 'Make a home for wildlife' off your '50 things to do before you're 11 3/4' list too.
There's no need to book - drop by any time between 11am and 3pm.
