3. Meeting Magical Mammals

Join a ranger for a walk around the Park to discover all about the small mammals that live here! We might see voles, mice and shrews, and we'll teach you all about their habitat, diet and identifying features. 

There will also be plenty of time to ask any questions about the small mammals we see (or don't see!) so feel free to ask away! 

Suitable for ages: 5yrs+,

Young children will need to be quiet at times so we do not spook the small mammals!
