A community event for all ages and abilities. It is also a chance for us to work with other environmental groups to widen the public knowledge of the natural surroundings of Fairy Dell.

Some of the activities available on the day....

The Tees Rivers Trust

For guests, especially children, to take samples from the beck and be taught how to recognise the creatures they find in the water. The shallow section of the beck, just below the ‘water splash’, is the site to be used during the event. They will then go to the marquee and be shown how to identify their finds. The activity for children will be to make a diagram of their ‘finds’ from which they will then make a permanent transfer on to either a tee shirt or a tote bag.

Electro-fishing will take will take place from deeper water near the water splash.
