About your mentor
Watchtree Nature Reserve
wildlife haven and community asset for all
Watchtree is a 205 acre, fully accessible nature reserve, situated on the Solway plain, 6 miles south west of Carlisle. The reserve has clear views to the northern hills of the Lake District and overlooks the Solway Firth estuary. Our reserve hosts different habitats, teeming with wildlife. A network of accessible trails makes it easy to explore and experience our UK wildlife in their natural habitat.
Useful information
Come rain or shine, we aim to spend the majority of the session outside. It is therefore really important to have appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather and temperature - this can be changeable and a list of recommended 'what to bring' will be sent out to all participants.

Cancellation Policy
Refunds are not generally available, but may be considered with sufficient notice.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
