Lincolshire Wildlife Trust Minibeast Safari Tower Gardens

Tower Gardens is the venue for many events in Skegness. Today the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust was holding a Minibeast Safari.
The aim of the event, organised by the Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve Team, was to increase children’s awareness of the natural environment.
There were many activities arranged for the children. The most popular nature activity was searching for minibeasts in trays containing piles of undergrowth, leaves etc.
The chilldren found various specimens including woodlice, centipedes…
…and worms! This wriggly little specimen, seconds after this photograph was taken, dropped from the little boy’s hand and went down his sleeve!.
The boy, quite unperturbed (as we would all be wouldn’t we??), calmly pulled it out again.
Activities inside the marquee included painting and drawing pictures of minibeasts…
…and making models. This mum and dad were helping their children make a snail and a squirrel.
Then the time came for the Minibeast Safari to begin.
Kim Hudson, the Safari leader, firstly briefed the children of any possible hazzards they were to watch out for, like stinging nettles, litter, etc.
Then off the children and their parents went, around the Tower Gardens to search for their minibeasts!
