A Rockpool Safari will take place at Flamborough South Landing on Thursday, February 19 (11am to 12:30pm).
The spokesperson added: “Join our team and go in search of fascinating local marine life in the rockpools at South Landing, Flamborough. We’ll take you on a guided tour and explore the rocky shore as we search for brittlestars, seek out crabs and pursue sea slugs. Children must be supervised by an adult throughout the event.”
The Living Sea Centre is the venue for a ‘Seaweed Pressing and Soap Making’ workshop on Saturday, March 7 (noon to 2:30pm).
The YWT team will take people on a stroll along the shore to explore the wonderful world of seaweed! Using any findings, participants be creating some picture-perfect seaweed pressings as well as a set of beautiful soaps.
An Extreme Rockpool Safari will take place at South Landing, Flamborough, on Saturday, March 21 (11:30am to 1pm).
The spokesperson said: “The tides are extremely low so get ready for a rockpool safari with a difference. We’ll take you on an exploration of the shore as we search for marine life which is only uncovered on a very low tide. Discover kelp forests, look out for lobsters and seek out devil crabs on this rockpool safari special!”
