NEW FOR 2010
For schools and children's groups
The Centre is run by a group of committed volunteers who provide exciting field trips for children of primary school age. The Wetlands have no less than 15 different habitats including ponds, reed swamps, hedgerows, streams and wild flower meadows. Footpaths and raised walkways with beautifully illustrated information boards as well as a large bird hide make an ideal place for school children to discover the sights and sounds of nature in a safe and child friendly environment. In 2007 almost a thousand school children visitied the Wetlands on school trips.We offer the following field trips to primary schools
Duration of field trips are 2-2.5 hours and consist of an initial Powerpoint presentation and then a chance to experience the Wetlands. Depending on the trip chosen children will have a chance to watch birds from the hide, go pond dipping, identify the creatures they have caught and visit our nature table. In order to provide an individual experience for the children we ask that no group exceed 30 pupils except where it is a single class group. For our free leaflet outlining what is available in the trips and further details please send your addresss to schools@cabraghwetlands.ie
