About the event

Join one our knowledgeable volunteers for one of our monthly Wildlife Wanders and explore our biggest Northamptonshire nature reserve, the Nene Wetlands. The walk may (weather permitting) include a visit to Wilson's Pits, a stunning area of lakes, meadows and reed beds which is usually inaccessible to the public to protect its sensitive wildlife inhabitants.

  • Binoculars will be available to borrow for the duration of the walk, but please bring your own if you have some.
  • Please meet us at our Nene Wetlands Visitor Centre at Rushden Lakes, located on the boardwalk (5 hours free parking is available).
  • Paths may be slippery and uneven in places so please ensure you wear suitable footwear and clothing appropriate for the weather.
  • Spaces are limited and online booking is strongly recommended (booking fee applies). If we have space, we may be able to accommodate walk-ups, however, an additional £1 admin fee will apply in these instances.
  • Most suitable for 7+. Under 18s will need to be accompanied by a guardian.
