About

Step into nature this spring and discover the magic of wildlife walks at Westonbirt Arboretum with your family!

Perfect for explorers aged 7 to 11 with curious minds.

Tuesday 8 April
Our Feathered Friends Walk
Test your stealth and listening skills with an Owl & Mouse Game. Can you hear like an owl or move as silently as a mouse? Next, take on the Nest Building Challenge and see if you can create a sturdy nest that can hold an egg. Bring a bit of nature home by making a Willow Bird Feeder together as a family, providing a tasty treat for garden birds.

Wednesday 9 April
Marvellous Mammals Walk
There's No Place Like Home - search for setts, burrows, roosts, and drays and discover the fascinating creatures that live inside. Then, step into the world of nocturnal hunters with the Bat & Moth Game, where you'll explore echolocation and try to evade capture.

Thursday 10 April
Amazing Minibeasts Walk
Get up close with nature and discover the world of minibeasts with these fun family activities! Take on the Pollinator Challenge, searching for flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and even night-flying moths. Become a wildlife detective with a Minibeast Hunt - how many tiny creatures can you spot? Finally, get hands-on with Bug Homes, creating a mini-habitat for insects to leave in the arboretum.
