Wildlife Watch Group at Heysham Nature Reserve

Watch groups give children opportunities to discover local wildlife and get stuck into practical activities. The activities can include anything from environmental artwork to barn owl surveys to pond dipping! Follow the link to download Heysham Hedgehogs Watch programme for the year.
We meet every 2nd Saturday of the month.

Additional Information
All groups operate within a monitored framework of child welfare and safety. All Watch leaders undergo a thorough recruitment process to check their suitability to work with young people.

For children aged between 8 - 12 but Heysham Hedgehogs will cater for the younger age group (up to 12) and may offer something slightly different (instead of or as well as) for teenagers.

Some Watch groups comprise just 12 plus with the young people shaping their own projects and activities with just a little leader support and guidance, whilst older teenagers may stay with a younger group as helpers. Check locally to find out what is available.

Please note that Watch is generally advertised as a club for children of eight years and above, and although there are many younger children who do join in, and are usually encouraged to do so.
