Interpretive space

Discover our updated nature interpretive space! We offer a space for adults to sit, chat and peruse our library full of field books and non-fiction nature books. We also have a family space with cozy couches for your littles, an extensive collection of children's books and a puppet theatre to spark creativity. 

We currently have our birds' nest collection in our new shadow drawers and, as always, lots of natural items to touch and discover. Entry is free and our interpretive space is open during our regular opening hours.  

Natural items on tables for exploration. Bookshelves with nature-related books, drawers with natural artefacts for viewing and couches to sit on.
