BUG HUNT
Saturday 8 June
Come and survey Chaddesden Ancient Wood and add to our lists of mini-beasts and plants as we enrich our knowledge about Derby's most important woodland.
​
You can discover the fascinating creepy-crawlies living here, exploring under fallen logs, into the long grass and through the trees and bushes. We have an expert on hand to help identify the creatures that are found.
​
Children under 15, must be accompanied by an adult.
