Attenborough Nature Reserve has been much loved by individuals and families alike for over 60 years. Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust (NWT) have managed the reserve since 1966 and purchased it in 2019 with the support of Sir David Attenborough himself, and the incredible generosity of the public through their Attenborough Lifeline Appeal.
Since events came to a halt in 2020 due to the pandemic, the Trust has been working hard to get in person events back up and running again, and as they celebrate their 60th Anniversary, the charity are kicking off an exciting programme of events.
The NWT engagement team are particularly excited to offer a new workshop for families wanting the opportunity to get closer to nature and learn new skills together during half term. The workshops will take place in a beautiful, secluded woodland at Attenborough Nature Reserve, an area not open to general visitors, where families will get an exclusive, immersive learning experience at peace in nature. The experienced team will demonstrate skills and get the whole family involved in natural fire lighting and green wood working.
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust are passionate about teaching people about the wonders of the natural world and instilling a lifelong passion for wildlife. Visiting Attenborough Nature Reserve is a fantastic family day out, being surrounded by wildlife even in the café, which has a spectacular view across the water. You can take your experience to the next level by booking on to one of their brand-new Family Bushcraft Workshops with an expert team.
