We believe every childhood should be wild!
We have been helping Shropshire children explore and experience the natural world for more than 50 years!
Take a look below at how you can help your child go wild.
Wildlings
Our weekly toddler group for under 5's during term time. Join us at The Cut, Shrewsbury every Wednesday morning and Alderford Lake, Whitchurch every Thursday morning for lots of fun! A great opportunity for children to discover the natural world within a safe environment.
Really Wild Birthday Parties!
Are you looking for somewhere different for a child's birthday party? Our nature themed parties are packed full of fun activities and wild games!
Outdoor Kids' Fun
During school holidays we run outdoor events in Shrewsbury, Telford and Ellesmere for under 11's. Expect dirty hands, muddy boots and lots of smiles.
We also run events throughout the year, at weekends across the county and have regular drop in craft sessions at our visitor centre in Shrewsbury.
Wild days out
Our visitor centre in Shrewsbury is a fantastic location for families. Our outdoor Wild Child Garden is open all year round, as well as our indoor wild child craft corner.
Explore and discover over 40 Nature Reserves.
Wildlife at home
We have lots of ideas for families to take action for wildlife at home. From building a bug hotel to creating a garden pond, take a look at our activity page.
