During 2007 the Education Programme held several fun packed activity days for families during the school holidays. As well as these
special days, self-led activities are always available to collect from the visitors centre. At the moment we have Leaf Bingo, Treasure Hunts, the Pine Cone Challenge and our Seasonal Story Trail. We are always developing new activities, so keep an eye out for them on the children’s activity table in the visitors centre. The visitors centre is also home to our reference library which is full of books to help you identify any plants or animals you may find on your visit to the arboretum.
We will be running further family activity days throughout 2008, if you would like to receive advance notification of these days you can join the Education Programme mailing list by e-mailing education@kewatch.co.uk.
