About this event

Join us for a fun and interactive pond-dipping adventure at Gosforth Nature Reserve!

Along the way, you’ll learn how to spot different species and find out more about their amazing underwater lives.

Perfect for young nature lovers and curious explorers, this event is a wonderful way to uncover the watery wonders of Gosforth Nature Reserve.
