About the event

Join us at Walthamstow Wetlands to discover which animals build nests to lay their eggs, what materials they might use and why it's important to keep eggs safe. We'll learn about not just birds but minibeasts and other wildlife that build nests and lay eggs in the springtime.

The workshop costs £10 per family. We do not want the cost to be a barrier to accessing this event, if it is not affordable for you, please email learning@wildlondon.org.uk for a place.

Meet at the New River Studio near the east gate.

The session will be led by a member of our Learning & Engagement team.

Aimed at 6- 12 year olds but younger siblings welcomed. All children must be accompanied throughout the session by a responsible adult.

Donations are welcome. All profits are invested into London Wildlife Trust’s conservation and education work and the care of its nature reserves.

The New River Studio has an accessible toilet. There is a quiet indoor classroom that can be used for breaks.
