As we have now been going for more than five years (!!!!) we have an increasing number of 'graduates' who are currently working their way through primary school. We want to see you all back again! So we are organising two events this summer for 3-9-year-olds. It'll be just like Very Young Friends - but fewer nursery rhymes and more expertise!
Firstly, the excellent Graham Banwell, of the OPAL project, will come to help us hunt minibeasts on Monday 20th August, 2-4pm. The things he knows about slugs and earthworms....well, personally speaking I found them hard to believe when he told them to me.
And then, using the equipment of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, we will go pond-dipping with nets, trays, magnifiers and identification charts. Our pond is more or less perfect for dipping as it's so full of reeds and vegetation! Date for that: Thurs 23rd August, 2-4pm.
But we hope to see you there - whether you are a former Very Young Friend, or any other person with a child in that sort of age group. Please note that parents must stick around as we haven't gone through any bureaucracy in order to be responsible for your children.
