When you first arrive remember...
- you may be in a car park so listen to your adults and look and listen for vehicles.
- the bioloos are up the hill but make sure you go in pairs and tell an adult that you're going.
- to walk at all times.
- keep your hands to yourself as there may be traps, tools or other equipment.
- stay calm and quiet so that others can enjoy their visit and the wildlife isn't disturbed.
- to let an adult know if you aren't feeling well or if you are unsure of anything.
