Last week I spent some time at Conkers in Leicestershire UK helping the Rangers. I mostly helped out with children's butterfly craft workshops but also did some litter picking ( which is a really important part of the Rangers job), pond dipping and came into contact with a variety of wildlife including newts which I had never seen before. I also had the chance to meet the Head Rangers Owls, A Barn Owl called Misty and a Little Owl called Al who is very moody.
All the Rangers were really helpful and I learned a lot from them. I am hoping that they will let me go back again to do some wildlife surveys and a puppet workshop soon.
