🦔 How to Build a Hedgehog House
🙋♀️ with Ffion Hughes
📆 Tuesday 28th October
⏰ 10am - 1pm
📍 Hawarden Estate
Children will collaboratively build two hedgehog houses by hand, learning to use tools such as saws and sandpaper, and search for a great area to place them in The Walled Garden.
Once the hedgehog’s new homes are built, we’ll gather beside the fire with hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Children will leave with their hedgehog house, along with the knowledge of where to place it at home, and the skills to make more!
Alongside Ffion, an expert Forest Leader, they will learn...
