Watch Clubs

Monthly Saturday Watch clubs are being run at the Brecon Beacons National Park Visitor centre, Libanus (contact Natalie Fisher on tel. 01874 623366) and Craig Y Nos Country Park (contact Ageliki Politis on tel. 01639 730395). They are open to the public and run from 10.30am-12.30pm.

Several Watch clubs are also running in local schools for their pupils.

During school holidays, the BWT runs activity days on its reserves which are both fun and educational. They are open to both Watch members and any interested young people (under 8’s welcome if accompanied by a parent). See the Events Diary for details of forthcoming events.

For Teachers / Group leaders

Education Work

Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship is becoming an increasingly important subject in the school curriculum. As well as acting as leader to Wildlife Watch clubs based in schools in Brecknock, our Education Officer is available to assist at, or deliver, class sessions on any wildlife/environmental theme. These can be adapted to suit different primary aged children. Related art/craft and practical activities in school grounds can be incorporated.

Teachers are welcome to seek advice and borrow resources from the Trust.

School groups are welcome to visit our nature reserves (please contact us first).

Our Education Officer is available to visit playschemes.
