Help us care for nature, wildlife and outdoor spaces. You’ll be given a species to survey, this could be birds, butterflies or flowers and insects. You’ll meet our nature experts who will give you helpful hints and tips for how and where to survey your species at Attingham Park. Once you’ve completed your survey, you’re free to enjoy the site for the rest of the day, and leave with the skills to complete your own surveys at home.
