7 July 2019 Open Afternoon – Bee Theme
194 local residents visited the Centre for an afternoon of children’s crafts and activities. A trail using the Centre map with ‘bee’ clues allowed people to explore on their own and conducted nature walks were led by our Education Manager. The weather was good and everyone enjoyed the event. The home-made cakes were very popular and the Barnet Beekeepers were on hand to tell us about the bees and to sell honey.

22 September 2019 Open Afternoon – Bird theme
144 visitors came to the Environment Centre to enjoy the activities. The day was a great success; the children liked the crafts – making bird feeders using apples and seeds and constructing model birds. Two nature walks led by our Education Manager were well attended. The children enjoyed searching for pictures of birds which were hung around the Reserve. As usual, the refreshments were appreciated by all.

25 October 2019 – Night-time creatures
What an afternoon! Over 100 children enjoyed a craft afternoon colouring, cutting, sticking, drawing and modelling various creatures: hedgehogs, bats, moths, badgers and beavers. The weather was good and families spilled out into the Centre Garden to play and also to enjoy a self-guided walk around the nature reserve. Quite a few local families were first time visitors. Cakes and biscuits kept the energy up.
