Outdoor ideas for Christmas

We may not be able to meet up as much as we’d like inside, but there is plenty going on outdoors this Christmas season. Here’s a round-up of some ideas from our members organisations:

Wicken Fen has two trails for families to follow- the Twelve Trees of Christmas and a Peter Rabbit Trail- more info here. They are open every day apart for Christmas Day (when you can still walk on the wider reserve). Also look out for roosting hen harriers, short-eared owls and starling murmurations.

Welney WWT have developed a new visitor trail around Lady Fen. It is very wet at this time of year- wellies recommended! Look out for flocks of wintering wildfowl, hares and cranes.

Cambridge PPF have family winter gift membership on offer- more on their website, where you can also find out about their volunteering days and winter tree walks in January 2021.

In Peterborough, Nene Park remains open and are holding a winter bird walk on 4th January.

Wildlife Trust BCN have a family story trail at Paxton Pits Reserve, daily until 31st January. More on their reserves and events here.

Whatever you do this Christmas, all at CCF wish you a happy, healthy and peaceful break. We look forward to 2021 being a more positive year for us all.
