From exploring the fascinating world of pollinators at the Lerwick Flower Park and discovering magical moths at the Crofthouse Museum to visiting the woodland at Kergord for leaf printing, bug hotels, mud cakes, cooking outdoors and more, there's an action-packed programme of family-friendly nature events taking place in Shetland this summer.
The Shetland Amenity Trust in partnership with the Shetland Wildlife Community Group has put together the events to celebrate the islands' fantastic nature, wildlife and landscape, recognising its status as a UNESCO Global Geopark. There are a range of outdoor activities to choose from including guided walks with experts, wild flower and woodland walks and wildlife drop-ins covering autumn bird migration, cetacean spotting and rock pooling.
