Our Educational Wildlife Workshops for KS1 & KS2
Centred around our wonderful British wildlife, our KS1 & KS2 workshops host a variety of fun, educational activities that are designed to enhance your science curriculum whilst creating some budding wildlife lovers!
Each workshop is brought to life with a prickly, furry or feathered interaction by The British Wildlife Rescue Centre, giving children the opportunity to make a connection with a real British creature.
Whilst educating our next generation of wildlife lovers, our workshops help to raise vital funds for The British Wildlife Rescue Centre - helping them to rehabilitate our local wildlife at their hospital near Stafford!
