The ranger team at Northam Burrows have some exciting free activities planned for this February half term for all the family to enjoy. So, if you’re stuck for something to do and want to keep the children entertained while getting some fresh air, why not check out what’s going on.
On Tuesday 18 February, head to the Northam Burrows Visitor Centre at 2pm to discover more about owls and in particular owl pellets. Between 2pm and 4pm there will also be the opportunity to find out about the work of the Devon Harvest Mouse Project and meet some of their amazingly cute ambassadors! Visitors will also get the chance to make a mouse finger puppet.
On Thursday 20 February, find the rangers on the beach near Westward Ho! Slipway between 2pm and 4pm for a ‘Rockpool Ramble’ and discover the strange and wonderful creatures that lurk in the rockpools at low tide.
There will also be a beach clean with Plastic Free Torridge and Northam Burrows rangers on Saturday 15 February. Anyone wanting to join should head to the Westward Ho! slipway for 10.30am.
No booking is required for any of the organised events, but children must be accompanied by an adult and appropriate clothing and footwear is advised. If you’re like Torridge’s hungry rangers some snacks and drinks may also be a good idea. Check out all the details at www.torridge.gov.uk/northamburrows or on Torridge Council’s website and posters on social media.
