Get ready for a wonderfully creative experience at this year’s Dragonfly Festival. In this relaxed, family-friendly session, you’ll join volunteer Kate in the Insect Garden to build your very own bug house using recycled milk cartons. It’s a brilliant way for families to enjoy nature activities together, learn about the insects that support our wetlands, & take home a handmade habitat to encourage wildlife in your own garden. This activity blends creativity, sustainability & hands-on fun, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy family events & wildlife experiences at Washington Wetland Centre.
