Learn and Discover

There are lots of ways that you can enjoy, be inspired by and help local wildlife. We offer fun family activities, junior membership of our Wildlife Watch Club, activities for schools through to a wide range of events, volunteering opportunities and countryside courses for people of all ages. 

Wildlife Watch

Wildlife Watch is our club for junior members aged 5 - 13. Family members will find that the children are automatically enrolled as members of Wildlife Watch or else children can join as individual members for only £15 a year. Wildlife Watch members will receive regular newsletters, posters, challenges and can gain awards for wildlife-friendly activities. They can sign up to the Wildlife Watch website, play games and learn lots more about nature and their local environment. Why not give junior membership of the Trust as an ideal birthday or Christmas gift?

They can also join one of our 12 active WATCH groups and take part in regular environmental activities that help them explore and understand the natural world. Or why not get them to check out our on-line brainteasers to see how much they know about the wildlife around them?

School Groups

With three fantastic education centres in Hampshire plus an Education Officer on the Isle of Wight we can offer a range of curriculum-based education programmes for all ages. We can also offer advice and support to schools on developing and using wildlife areas in their school grounds.

Other groups

Whatever the age or interest of your group we are sure that we will be able to offer some suitable activities based around a visit to one of our reserves. Contact one of our education centres and see what they have to offer.

Countryside courses

Ever wanted to know how to identify birds or fungi or wildflowers? Ever wanted to have a go at botanical illustration, wildlife photography, willow-weaving or wildlife surveys? We organise a programme of countryside courses that might be just the right thing to interest you.
