Box Moor Rangers and Nature Tots
Nature Tots (18 months – 4 years old)
Our Nature Tots sessions run from April to October and are an opportunity for an early engagement with nature, which has a wide range of benefits for children’s early years’ of development. These sessions are a great opportunity for both parents and children to experience and discover the wider environment around them in a safe manner.
Each session will offer a variety of child-led activities from mini-beast hunting to land art and much more. These sessions will be set-up and run by staff or volunteers, with support for families to discover the wonders of nature just outside their doorstep.
Nature Tots sessions are drop-in sessions that are usually held on the third Wednesday of every month, between 1:30pm-3pm. The flexibility of a drop-in session allows visitors to attend and utilise the facilities at their convenience, as we understand it is not always easy to commit to a full session!

Mini Rangers (5-7 years old)
The Box Moor Trust Mini Rangers is a junior group for children to learn about local wildlife and develop outdoor skills from animal track identification to fire-making. Keeping children engaged with nature at a young age is key to instilling a lifelong passion for the environment, which we hope will help improve green space for future generations.
Each session is run by experienced leaders and supported by Box Moor Trust volunteers. Mini Rangers usually meet on the third Saturday of the month, between 1.30pm-2.30pm. Due to the varied nature of the sessions the group may meet in different places across the estate, please take note of the session location when booking on our Eventbrite page.
