Wildlife Watch
Wildlife Watch is the junior branch of Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.
There are Wildlife Watch groups throughout the county where children can meet and have fun exploring the environment. At these meetings they can learn more about their local wildlife and get involved in practical activities.
Some groups make a small charge for the activities and for insurance reasons we ask that under-eights are accompanied by a parent. Please make sure that you ring the leader of the group you want to attend before your first visit.
Watch groups in Derbyshire are based at Chesterfield, Elvaston Castle, Litton, Sett Valley, Shipley Park, Swadlincote and Hardwick Park.
To find out more, please contact us at the Trust on 01773 881188.
