Children will be encouraged to record their findings and experiences in their log books, like a real life ranger, as a permanent reminder of their wild day out. Collect at least 6 stickers and come along to our daily award ceremony at 3.30pm to collect your Super Wildlife Ranger sticker – get all 8 and be entered into a draw to win a day as a Martin Mere Ranger.
Steve Nasir, one of WWT’s real life wildlife rangers said:
“I love being a wildlife ranger for WWT and helping to care for and protect our amazing wetland animals. We thought families would welcome the chance to experience what it’s like to be a ranger through a series of fun-packed, mini adventures, including activities that I do as part of my day to day job. Hopefully, we’ll also inspire some of our younger visitors to become the wildlife rangers of the future, helping to create a world where healthy wetland nature thrives and enriches lives.”
Martin Mere is open every day (except Christmas Day) from 9.30am to 6pm during summer months (and until 4.30pm during the winter) and parking is free of charge.
