Do you have what it takes to become a Wetland ranger?

Published date29 June 2022
And, this summer, families can learn more about them by becoming Junior Wetland Rangers at seven of the WWT's centres

It's a chance to have fun and follow in the footsteps of real-life rangers, as well as help them on their daily mission to save wetland nature.

By picking up a free trail card, families can set off for a full day of discovery and adventure, learning how to care for - and protect - the beautiful wetlands with a variety of activities including: Animal health checks: Find out how WWT keeps our feathered friends safe and healthy, and have a go at things like weighing a goose, measuring a swan, and giving a flamingo a check up.

Pond exploring: See how many different species you can identify.

Moth mornings: Get involved in survey work and explore moth traps to learn about the different species. Bird ringing: Discover what leg rings are and why they're important. You can have a go at measuring, weighing and ringing a bird.

Animal tracking and discovery: Learning and looking for signs and clues left by wildlife.
