Wild families - our nature needs you!
We're currently enlisting families to help us give nature a home on the reserve through our family 'muck in' volunteering days where you'll need to pull on your boots and gloves and join the reserve team for a morning of practical conservation work. As well as helping us to give nature a home it is a great chance to get out in the fresh air, spend some time as a family, learn some skills, make some new friends and of course, have fun!
We have 2 days coming up over the next couple of months:
On Sunday 15 February 10.30 am - 1 pm we'll be designing and constructing some homes for nature. We'll start off on a mission to the woods to gather materials before heading down to Fattengates courtyard to make reptile piles, wren towers and a lizard lounge!
On Saturday 04 April 11 am - 1.30 pm we'll be making the nature reserve an even better place for bugs, bees and butterflies by planting wildflowers and making bug hotels.
There is no charge for taking part, but we would like to know who is coming in advance so we can make sure we have the right tools. To book your place contact the visitor centre on 01798 875851 or send an email to pulborough.brooks@rspb.org.uk
