Rock Pool Safari

  Throughout September

Nature lovers of all ages can enjoy a fun, educational, active day out rock pooling with a Rock Pool Safari.  Take a glimpse into and learn about the mysterious world of marine creatures revealed by the receding tide.   Some species can be found high on the beach and are only covered at high tide, whereas many others you will only find near the water’s edge at low tide. When searching, check beneath rocks, under overhangs, in nooks and crannies. The closer you look, the more wildlife you’ll see!  Become a citizen scientist and contribute to real science by carrying out a survey on your expedition.  The Rock Pool Project has surveys suitable for all abilities, and your finds will be checked by their marine biologist experts. Don't forget to share your pictures with us on Instagram @falriver!
