The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) is one of the largest wetland conservation organisations in the world. They work in several areas in the UK, including London, where in November, they will be providing winter weekend family activities. During the weekends between the 10th of November and the 16th of December, there will be plenty to see. The ducks will start their breeding season, so will be frolicking with activity in their colourful feathered coats.
Every weekend there will be:
Nature Crafts
