Are you passionate about Essex’s wildlife and want to learn more about what Colchester Museums cares for? Then why not come along to one of our ‘Wild About Essex: Hands on with Nature’ sessions. You will get to discover a variety of objects never seen before by the public and find out how you can see and protect wildlife around Colchester! Try your hand at photographing, labelling and sorting different animals and plants. By taking part in these sessions, you will be playing a vital role in the redevelopment of Colchester’s Natural History Museum.

The focus for this month will be fossils.
