Wildlife Watch groups

If your children care about nature and love getting close to wildlife, then Wildlife Watch is the club for them!

We have three Wildlife Watch groups across Gloucestershire run by dedicated and passionate volunteers that provide fun and unique ways of getting up close to wildlife. Each group has their own programme of activities but they might include things like bat detecting, butterfly surveying, den building, mammal trapping, river dipping, natural crafts, bird box building, nature hunts, night walks, and much more.

You don’t need to be a Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust members to come to a Wildlife Watch group but Wildlife Watch Membership is a great way of finding out more about nature and supporting our conservation work at the same.
