It’s school summer holidays and, for a lot of us, that’s 6 weeks of trying to drag bored kids away from screens whilst thinking of other stuff they can do that doesn’t cost a fortune.
So in this week’s Environment Matters podcast, Amanda Yorwerth has pulled together your ideas for holiday activities many of which are free to do and use the opportunity the summer holidays give for kids to get out into nature, learn a sustainable skill or try a new way of getting around that doesn’t involve a car.
To hire a bat detector or lots of other useful stuff go to Share St Albans
Highfield Park have holiday activities including Bat Walks
For some fun citizen science try Plant Your Pants
BBC Good Food has ideas for cooking with kids
The Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust have lots of events including the Chalk Stream Challenge
There’s some suggestions for cycle rides with kids here and remember that it’s free to cycle at the Cottonmill Pump Track
Learn a new skill or do some mindful craft with Jefferson Eco
And for ideas for days out on the Abbey Line there’s suggestions here
