About the event

For our first session, we’ll be getting to know Boz park by exploring the area and looking for signs of wildlife that may call the nature reserve home. We are very flexible with activities, trying to be as responsive to peoples interests and natures offerings on the day. This means activities may include: a nature discovery walk, building shelters, nature inspired crafts and a conservation activity such as balsam bashing. If people are up for it, we always have a few fun nature inspired up our sleeves ready to play.   

These sessions are for people aged 11-25.

We welcome attendees with SEND – up to age 25. As our event is run by a small team and we are unable to provide one-to-one assistance, we kindly ask that anyone requiring additional personal support attends with their own carer or support worker.

We may not have access to an indoor area therefore, young people should wear appropriate clothing for the weather, sturdy footwear and extra water and sun cream for warm sunny days. We will provide drinks and a snack, so please ensure you let us know below if you have any allergies or intolerances.
