The Sussex Wildlife Trust have some wonderful activities throughout the year. From their home page on their website, go to the What's On section to check out their events and courses. My other half and I who are both members never cease to be amazed at the variety of events which they run. 

There are events and courses, many of which are for children, and the courses include titles such as "Butterflies on the South Downs" or "An Evening with Badgers" and "Conservation Grazing".  There are also local groups which organise meetings and events.  And you can volunteer from the age of 12!

The National Trust also have a range of courses, talks and events and of course you can also volunteer.  There's a search facility for you to use to find the sort of thing you want to do - and to prompt ideas if you aren't sure what interests you.  On their Get Involved pages, there's a Build Your Skills section, which leads you to their listings of courses, talks and events.  Amongst those in our area, I found Bat Walks, Ugly Bug Safaris, Wild Flower Walks, Pond Dipping, Wildlife Night Hikes, Brilliant Birds and Minibeast Missions. Click here to go to the National Trust website
