THE
WASH AND DERSINGHAM NATIONAL NATURE RESERVE SCHOOL PROGRAMME FOR
KEY STAGE 1,2 & 3
(NATURAL
ENGLAND HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS - PLEASE SCROLL
DOWN TO FIND MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT WE OFFER TO FAMILIES DURING
THE HOLIDAYS)
The
Wash is the largest estuary and the most important wetland
site in the UK. The south east corner of the Wash forms the
largest National Nature Reserve in England.
**************
The
Wash National Nature Reserve managed by Natural England offers a
range of exciting outdoor learning opportunities for schools. It
is the biggest reserve in England, covering over 8880 hectares and
is one of England's last wildernesses, a place where you can enjoy
true tranquility, as well as the excitement of some of England's
great wildlife spectacles. Therefore, visits to the NNR will focus
on the theme ‘Wild Wash'. The aim of this theme at The Wash NNR
is that an understanding of the ‘specialness'
and ‘wildness'
of the Wash would lead to a ‘
respect for The Wash and its wildlife' .
