(Charles) Darwin Explorers Club
To mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin (on February 12th), Darwin Forest Country Park is launching a new club for nature detectives Membership includes a Starter Pack with everything needed to get the outdoor learning experience underway. This includes Charles Darwin themed activity cards which cover: how to be an explorer and learn more about flora and fauna; how to spot tracks and work out what creatures are around; how to recognise different types of tree and how to identify and draw birds. Others will be added over time. Items such as bug jars, pond dipping nets, bird books and small microscopes will also be made available in the Woodland Store to help children develop their understanding of the great outdoors.
