About the event

Join us to explore our pond and surrounding areas to discover the wildlife that lives at Walthamstow Wetlands. Toads, tadpoles, woodlice and worms are just a selection of the animals that you might discover here! Activities will include using nets to look at animals found in the pond and looking under logs to see what minibeasts we can find.

Meet at our outdoor classroom, beside the Engine House.

This session will be led by Dhush (he/him) from our Learning & Engagement Team.

Sessions are aimed at children of all ages and parents/carers together. All children must be accompanied throughout the session by a responsible adult. 

No need to book, just drop in on the day. No equipment needed. Dress suitably for the weather.

This is a free event, but donations are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.
