Welcome to the new Nene Wetlands Little Bugs Club! Calling all mini-wildlife explorers...Little Bugs is back in the Nene Wetlands for 2025! Come and join us for a fun morning of exploration and discovery in our education area. This group is for pre-school children (from when they can toddle to age 5) and sessions will run monthly on a Monday morning. The aim of the sessions is to build confidence being in the outdoors for both children and their guardians, helping your family to connect with nature. Enjoy crafts, story time and outdoor play in this lovely location. Activities may vary and we try to be outside for all sessions (although if weather is very bad, we may use the visitor centre instead), so please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. We will provide squash and water to drink but please do bring your own snacks. Information Source: Wildlife Trust BCN | eventbrite

Join our Northants Nature Girls for an evening in our private Education area at the Nene Wetlands, where we'll be doing some pond dipping and minibeasting to see what creatures are living on the reserve. You'll then get the chance to make your own pizza using our pizza oven, which you can enjoy in the beautiful setting of the reserve on a summer evening. We'll have a few basic pizza toppings available, but if there's anything you love having on pizza- please feel free to bring it along! Please make sure to let us know of any allergies and intolerances when filling out the booking form. We'll meet outside the Nene Wetlands Visitor centre before making a short walk to the education area. Who are the Northants Nature Girls? This is a group designed for women and non-binary people who love nature and the outdoors to meet like minded people, whilst enjoying time in nature. Most people attend these events alone, and is a great way to get chatting to some fellow nature lovers. Can't join us this time? We will be hosting monthly meetings throughout the year so keep your eyes peeled! You can also join our Facebook group here, to connect with others and hear about upcoming events.
