About the event

Families can enjoy seed sowing, storytelling, bird box building, trail hunting, and meeting Spike the Hedgehog, all while learning about local wildlife and simple ways to support nature at home. It’s a great opportunity to try something new and enjoy the Easter holidays outdoors.

This event is a wonderful chance to celebrate Earth Day with the Ross Branch of the Herefordshire Wildlife Trust. Held in the lovely Ross Community Gardens, it offers a relaxed and family-friendly afternoon full of hands-on activities. Whether you're building a bird box, exploring the trail, or simply enjoying the garden, it’s a great way to connect with nature.
