Britain's What's On Event Guide
Family Nature Day
At this Family Nature Day we will be searching for butterflies, bugs and mini-beasts! What can you find living in our meadows and woodlands? Take a close-up look and see if you can identify your finds with help from our Wildlife Guides.
We will be welcoming members of the Essex Field Club to Stow that day, and they will be counting all the different species that we have on site – they look amazing with their nets, tubes and pots for collecting insects, and hopefully we can meet them and see some of what they have discovered.
Your time with us will include a guided walk around some of the quieter areas of the aerodrome that aren’t usually visited, and we are happy to lend binoculars to make it easier to spot some of our shy winged visitors.
You'll spend around 90 minutes with the wildlife team in our conservation areas, with plenty of time left to explore other aspects of the day - including handling nature items and hearing more about our rare and endangered species. And, of course, your ticket includes all the usual museum attractions.
