Summer Programme 2020

Join Jock o' Bennachie on some fun nature activities that you can participate in over the summer holidays.

Even if you can’t visit Bennachie, you can still enjoy these activities in your local woodland, park or even your own garden.

Fun Activity: To get the holiday activities started we would like you to Make A Nature Notebook to use with some of the other activities we have planned for you all.

We are sure it will come in handy when you are out and about.

Fun Activity: Once you have made your notebook have a read of How To Watch Wildlife (The Scottish Wildlife Trust) about how to be a nature detective and become really good at observing the plants and wildlife around you.

Other the next few weeks we will be cover three topics in our summer programme:
