Big Wild Summer - Hire a wildlife explorer backpack at Newport Wetlands

Learn how to be a fantastic naturalist with the help of our wildlife explorer backpack.  Learn how to find and identify all the residents of the wetlands on your walk. Included in each backpack is a themed spotting sheet that will change weekly, an ID guide, a magnifying bug pot, a craft to take home and an activity booklet for you to continue the fun at home.

Suitable for all ages. Backpacks can be hired from 10am-4pm at £5 a backpack. Please note we will take a name and contact number for the duration of your stay until the backpack has been returned. The backpacks will be available on a first come first serve basis and we are limited with only 10 available daily.
