We’ve got lots of things going on in January!

Join us and the Loughton Astronomical Society at the reserve for a Stargazing event on Sunday 12 January, 5.30 – 8 pm. Look up into the night sky and be amazed! £3 for members, £5 for non members.

We also have a Big Garden BirdWatch trail on the reserve this month, great for families, and good preparation for the Big Garden BirdWatch itself on 25 and 26 January. You can pick up your form for the BirdWatch at the reserve and you can do it in your garden or here on the reserve.

There’s our monthly Wildlife Explorer Club on Saturday 18 January between 11 am and 1 pm for 6-11 year olds. You don’t have to be a member, and first timers are very welcome. This month you’ll get to make a home for wildlife to take away with you. £3 for members, £5 for non-members, and you need to book please by calling 01992 708383.

We will also be running drop in art and craft sessions in the classrooms on 18th and 25th January for families. No need to book - £2 donation per person just to cover materials.

There are also our popular wildlife watches running on Jan 11, 12, 18 and 25 where our knowledgeable volunteers are available in a hide to point out and identify wildlife, and answer your questions about the reserve.
