Join us for an evening badger watch at the spectacular Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve.
Meet at our visitor centre and join the ranger on a woodland walk to our secret badger sett, looking for tracks, trails and signs along the way! We will wait for emergence of the badgers at our specially constructed badger watching benches in the heart of the reserve, overlooking one of our well used setts. Enjoy the chance to view badgers, bats and other nocturnal creatures as well as the opportunity to connect with nature in the tranquil woodland.
This event is suitable for children aged 8 and above.
It's around a 30-45 minute walk to the sett (Approx 1 mile)
Our badgers are not captive or fed and are free to roam the reserve as they please.
Although we have a very good success rate with our badger watches they are wild creatures and seeing them is not gauranteed.
Stout footwear is recommended, and please dress for the weather as this event will be fully outdoors.
Additional Dates: 13 August 2025, 27 August 2025
