All wildlife enthusiasts between the ages of 7 and 12 are welcome to come along to our meetings and join in the fun.
Indoor Meetings are held at North Bridlington Library, Martongate, Bridlington from 6 p.m. until 7.30 p.m. on the third Tuesday in the month.
There is on-site parking and disabled access to the ground-floor meeting room. Access to the library is well sign-posted off the small roundabout, opposite West Crayke, just past Somerfield supermarket.
Please note that we rely on a number of volunteers and local people to
provide the extensive programme of events that we have planned. As such,
dates, places and times could be subject to change, so please phone Margaret,
our Wildlife Leader, on 01964 532827 or 01964 532827 to check on any particular event.
Indoor
Meeting
Tuesday 15th May
All about the Albatross
This year’s Wildlife Explorers' national campaign is to help save the
plight of the albatross, so we will be spending the evening finding out more
about these special birds.
Outdoor
Meeting to Far
Grange Wildlife Reserve, Skipsea
Saturday 19th May
9.30am to 11.30am
Off the B1242 between Skipsea and Atwick, opposite the entrance to the golf
course. This will be a good opportunity to see this reserve as the
wildflower meadow comes into bloom and if conditions are right we might be
able to do some pond dipping.
There
will be no indoor meetings in June and July so that we can make use of the
light nights and get outside to see wildlife. There are also two very
special events that have been organised for families that we as leaders are
involved in and will be attending so please come and join us.
Saturday 2nd June 16.30 Wildlife Explorers' Puffin Cruise
This is one of a series of cruises sailing on the Yorkshire Belle from
Bridlington Harbour. This special family cruise sails at 16.30 and lasts
about 2 hours. The special ticket prices are £22 per family (2 adults &
2 children) for all WEX members. Tickets are available from Lesley Brown on
01262 850959 (mornings only)
This is an event that is happening in Dalby Forest at the new visitor centre
from 10am to 4pm. There will be a host of activities from wildlife
attractions to tombolas, miniature steam rides, bouncy castle and more.
Entrance is free once you are in the forest drive (cost £7.50 per car)
Park at the site of the old café, taking the turn off the main Bridlington
to Beeford road, A165 and keep going to the end. This is an excellent place
to see house martins nesting in the cliffs and there is always something to
see on the beach.
As well as checking on
Have a wonderful summer and we will see you again in September - on Tuesday 18th for our Indoor Meeting entitled All about Camouflage and again on Saturday 22nd for our Outdoor Walk at Dane’s Dyke.
