About this Event
Learn all about our local seals and take part in some hands on activities to discover how you can help protect them. Next we'll head out on a walk over the Naze, to have a go at using some binoculars and try to spot some seals. Please note seal sightings are not guaranteed! The tide will be high, so we won't be going onto the beach. We will walk in some areas with unguarded edges and children will need to be closely supervised.
