About the event

Come along and discover the creatures that live in our rivers beneath the surface.

Kate, our Wilder Communities Officer, and our expert volunteers will be on hand to show you what to do and help identify what you find, and all equipment is provided. Each session will last for approx. 60 minutes

Suitable for children aged 7+, no younger siblings to attend please. All children must be accompanied by a responsible parent/guardian, with at least one adult per two children (we ask no more than 2 adults and 4 children per group booking).

This event is part of the very first Herts Rivers Week - a celebration of our globally rare and beautiful chalk rivers. Through a series of walks, talks, and family-friendly events, you can learn about the wildlife chalk rivers support, the challenges they face, and simple ways you can help to protect them.
