Come along to explore the incredible underwater world of the River Dour!

Rangers Martha & Lauren will be on hand to help you catch some of the creatures that call the River Dour home and assist with identification.

How many freshwater shrimps can you catch? Will you be quick enough to net a fish? After river dipping there will be the opportunity to make your own river invertebrate to take home!

A great opportunity to learn more about this beautiful chalk river.
