So much to see and do at Gressenhall nature event

The site is bursting with new life and visitors to the Gressenhall Goes Wild event can find out more about the animals and insects that call the attraction home.

Vicky from Wild4 will be on hand for family woodland exploration, messy fun and natural crafts while you can play among the trees and keep an eye out for useful leaves and twigs to create your own woodland beastie.

Meet local nature detective Stuart Burgess to find out what likes to live in leaf litter and discover what the tadpoles, backswimmers and other pond life are up to this springtime. Look inside the butterfly and moth enclosure, see the spiders and their web of flies and make your own spider web. Use a sweep net to explore what makes its home in the long grass of the orchard.
