Wildlife Discovery Days

Courses start Spring 2026, to register you interest and get launch updates fill the expression of interest form below.

What to Expect

Wildlife Discovery Days are gentle, enriching outdoor sessions designed to help you slow down, notice more, and understand the wild stories happening all around you.
We spend the day exploring local habitats, learning how to spot tracks, signs, calls, and subtle behaviours that reveal which animals share the space with us.

This experience is perfect for complete beginners as well as nature-curious adults wanting to deepen their ecological awareness in a relaxed, supportive setting.
