Join us for a Bat Walk on Friday and Saturday 24+25th August. A special activity for children at 6:30pm before the walk on Friday evening. Bring a torch and wear suitable shoes and clothing as the field can get wet and muddy on occasions. We look forward to seeing you […]
This Summer we have a number of activities and events for adults and children. From bat walks to fungi foraging, we’re sure there’s something that will appeal to you. Our nature club for children, Clwb Gweilch Glaslyn, has weekly activities on Thursdays, details of which can be found in the […]
There is nothing more exciting, or nerve wrecking, than watching the first fledging of the season. From the day the eldest chick, KS3, turned 49 days old, we were afraid to take our eyes away from the nest. We needn’t have worried however. The chicks were happy to keep us […]
