Animal tracking workshops

When we venture out into the countryside our attention is usually caught by the sky as we often look for great birds as they swoop down. Small creatures scurrying around in the undergrowth are often missed. What many people don’t know is that the earth itself can give clues about the creatures which live there!

Bird nesting box Workshop

• 

We have a vast diversity of animals, but from time to time we must lend a hand to help them escape and survive precarious situations. In this workshop we aim to help to improve the living conditions of wildlife. You don’t need to be particularly handy to join in, you’ll just need enthusiasm and the expert guidance which we provide. In this workshop we make bird boxes for our avian friends to nest in. These nests are hung up around the campsite to help our surrounding wildlife.

These skills can be taken away to make birdboxes at home. You’ll soon have new neighbours!,

Bird feeder Workshop.

• 

In this forever changing era, many species of birds are being affected as their foods are not being made available to them. To solve this issue we will show you how to make bird feeders which do not only help many species of bird find food, but also increases biodiversity near your home. If you have any leftover wood and can recycle it by making bird feeders, you will be helping the environment even more. Together, we make bird feeders to place around the campsite so that campers can enjoy the area’s birds up close, as well as showing you how to make them so that you can make your own at home. By taking part in these workshops, you will discover new and useful knowledge to use when out in the wilderness. Also, in the ECO-Circuit, you’ll have the opportunity to put your skills in to practice thanks to the games and hiking route. Are you ready to have a brilliant time? This is just the start of what could be a fantastic hobby. If you are interested in the activities you can do at El Cares campsite
