explore the magic of winter

Have you ever walked a path in the quiet of winter and heard a crackle, ​or thought you caught a fleeting movement
out of the corner of your eye?
Maybe you've seen a track in the snow and wondered what curious creature could've made such a print.
The magic of nature is all around us and we are
here to help you discover the most elusive signs!
Designed to help you #getoutside this winter,
WPNR has some fun activities planned
for both the young and the young at heart!
