Opera on the Lawn
This family-friendly Critter Quest invites curious children to explore the Wilder Doddington landscape in search of beetles, bugs, pollinators and other fascinating invertebrates. Together, we will visit different habitats and look closely at the tiny creatures that live within them, learning how to find, identify and understand more about these important little lives.
From crawling beetles to buzzing pollinators, children will enjoy hands-on nature activities as they discover the vital role mini-beasts play in healthy habitats and a thriving ecosystem.
