Countryside Events Programme – What’s on Guide

High Woods County Park Christmas Trail 

Over the festive period get out in nature, have a wander around High Woods Country Park and see if you can follow the trail to spot the 12 Birds of Christmas.  Collect a map and answer sheet from the Visitors Centre, maybe a drink or a snack while you are there.
 
Can you spot any other creatures lurking in the woods this time of year? Maybe flying over head, scampering up the trees or they could be in hibernation!  Leave a message on the board to say what you have seen.
