Event Overview
Pond Dipping and Mini-Beasting Sessions
Explore and find out more about the creepy crawlies of the Nene Wetlands, both above and below the water!
Come and join us in our designated education area on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout August and see what amazing creatures you can discover.
Get up close to the weird and wonderful invertebrates that live beneath the surface of the lakes during our pond dipping activity and then compare these to the creepy crawlies and flying insects that live in the meadows and woodland.
