Tame Valley Wetlands

FREE RESOURCES!
We have a surplus of plastic discs at Hams Hall Environmental Centre which we no longer have a use for. We do not want to throw these away, so are there any schools, Guiding, Scouting, arts, community or craft groups who could find a use for them? So far we have used them as effective coasters and art projects! Please share with anyone you think might be interested - you can have as many as you like for free (we have a few boxes spare), you just need to be able to pick them up from Hams Hall Environmental Centre. Contact us via messenger or youth@tamevalleywetlands.co.uk if you are interested.

Well done to our Basketry Workshop attendees, who all made their own shallow baskets to take home yesterday!

Learning how meanders in rivers slow water flow and reduce flooding downstream with a group of Year 6 school children yesterday. To find out more about activities we offer school groups, see our website: https://buff.ly/2JZP0iT

Fantastic day with a primary school group today! They had great time outdoors finding mini-beasts and building wonderful habitat hotels to return them to. Plenty of creatures from woodlice and worms to snails and centipedes!

Remember hedgehogs!
A pile of wood can look like a lovely home to a hedgehog, so please remember to move or check your bonfire for wildlife before lighting it.

What are you doing with your left over pumpkin? Do you know of any wildlife which could benefit from it?
