The park is a great educational opportunity
This page provides a resource for teachers and parents.
WARNING
Parents, teachers and guardians must take responsibility while children are in the Park. Water, trees and other hazards are dangerous and must be guarded against at all times. The directors insist that this warning is very seriously regarded by anyone having the care of children.
Mini-beasts project
The mini-beasts project is a small project for identifying wildlife in the park. It can be used on school field trips into the park, or just as a fun (and educational) activity for parents and children.
