About the event

What's a better way to begin the New Year than with a relaxing tour around the nature reserve? Join our knowledgeable guides to learn about the heritage and wildlife of Walthamstow Wetlands.

This is a gentle tour around the reserve on paths - there may be some gentle inclines so strong stout footwear is recommended. The tour will last approximately 1.5hrs and will be fully outdoors - so dress for the weather! If you have binoculars bring them along, but it’s not essential.

Choose from either a morning tour starting at 11am or an afternoon tour starting at 1.30pm.

This event is for over 18s and children over 12 accompanied by an adult. Further information will be sent out prior to the event.

Donations to London Wildlife Trust are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.
