A summary
Who are we?
Naturebytes are a team of conservation, education, and technology specialists dedicated to creating the next generation of conservationists. We use cutting edge gadgets to track wildlife, capture amazing footage, and uncover nature’s secrets!
What activities are we running?
This Summer, we are running our Wildlife & Tech Club over 4 days, where we will be integrating wildlife with technology, mindfulness and guided meditation along with some safe animal interactions at Hastings Country Park. These sessions will involve walking in nature, learning how to use tech equipment and understanding the importance of nature conservation.
Over the 4 days, your child will become an EXPERT in using wildlife technology to identify and track species of mammals, birds, insects and plants, as well as learning the secrets to our wild spaces at Hastings Country Park! They will leave with a new understanding of the value of nature and what it means to be involved in nature conservation.

Cancellation policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.
My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
