Adult visitors can add words to the What Wetlands Mean to Me tree on site.

Learning manager Elizabeth Pearce said: “Wetlands are full of inspiration and wonder. Wetlands are worth writing for!

"Our activities at the wetland centre this year offer ways to connect with wetland nature through books, poetry, legends, storytelling, word games and word art.”
