Children get back to nature with woodland play

Sussex Wildlife Trust is expanding its Nature Tots programme with new groups starting across the county.

Nature Tots, a parent and toddler group focusing on engaging young children in wildlife and outdoor activities, is based on the Forest School programme and offers six-session programmes of woodland activities, games and singing for accompanied children aged between three and five.

New two-hour weekly sessions will run on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 22 April at Tilgate Park near Crawley.

Extra sessions will also be added to existing programmes at Seven Sisters Country Park near Eastbourne and Woods Mill Nature Reserve near Henfield to meet growing demand.
