Nature Thursdays on Ashdown Forest | All about nests!

Nature Thursdays are family activity days on Ashdown Forest suitable for children age 5–12 years, to be accompanied by an adult.

Join our Education team to explore the beautiful Ashdown Forest. We will be exploring the seasons with a walk, fun activities, natural crafts and games.

Build your nature knowledge over the year and connect with the wild! Different topics and activities every session.

In this session we'll be learning all about nests!

Do all birds make nests? Who is the best at building them? Are birds the only one who build nests? Are you as good at nest building as a swallow? Discover the answers to these questions and more!

Please come dressed to be outdoors whatever the weather in clothes you don't mind getting muddy and messy. Long sleeves, long trousers and sturdy shoes are required throughout the year for both children and adults, as these will help protect from stings and scratches.

Please buy a ticket for each child attending (£10 per child). Parents/guardians are free. Parking is included - you will need to register your car on arrival in the Information Barn at the Forest Centre.

Nature walks take place over uneven ground and may not be easily accessible for all. Please get in touch if you have any questions or need advice.

These events are not suitable for dogs.
