Families and childrenĀ 

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust organises a huge variety of events to encourage children and their families to discover the delights of the natural world. We cater for all age groups.

Preschoolers and their parents or guardians can come along to one of our Nature Tots or Wildlings groups, while five - thirteenĀ year-olds can enjoy WildfamiliesĀ events and eight - 16-year-olds will love #GetWild. At our sessions, youngsters will get involved in lots of wild activities, such as bug hunting, pond-dipping, scavenger hunts and learning outdoor survival skills.

We also have a Wildlife Watch groups that meets up once a month (unless otherwise stated) @ The Wolseley Centre aimed at 5-13 years. To find out more about our sessions, search for family events in our What's On guide

We offer lots of opportunities for adults to learn more about wildlife and explore the natural world on their doorsteps. You can come along to one of our manyĀ events, or get involved in your Local GroupĀ who run a programme of walks, talks and other activities. We often have area specific community projects running which can offer a chance to get involved, find out more on our Community Groups and Projects page.Ā
