We believe every childhood should be wild
Devon Wildlife Trust has been helping children to explore and experience the natural world for more than 50 years. Here are four simple ways to help your child go wild...

1) Exploring nature at home
Devon Wildlife Trust's education team are bringing an array of inspiring activities for you to enjoy learning about wildlife whilst also making sure you get your daily dose of nature. Wild activities, identification guides and 'how to' videos can be found here

2) Come along to a wild event
Let your kids go wild at one of the many outdoor events we and our volunteers run each year. Look out for rockpool rambles, craft days, bug hunting and more. Expect dirty hands, muddy boots and lots of smiles.
3) Go on a wild day out
DWT's Wembury Marine Centre is a magnet for wildlife – its rocky cliffs are home to nesting seabirds and the rocky shore, slate reefs and massive wave-cut platforms provide one of the UK's best spots for marine life. Then there's our 59 nature reserves where kids can explore and run wild.
