A spring-watch walk, a trip to the badger sett, frog spotting on the ponds, and a guest hedgehog were just a few of the treats awaiting families who answered the 'Wake Up to Wildlife' call at Colby Woodland Garden over half-term.
The events were organised jointly by the National Trust and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and attracted nearly 200 visitors from all over south-west Wales.
As well as the sessions open to the public, community groups including the Blue School at Pembroke Dock and young adults from Voices for Choices, completing their John Muir Award, joined in the fun.
Elizabeth Sleight, of the National Trust, said: "It was fantastic to see children and families discovering the woodlands together and great to be working as a team with National Park ranger Kiri Howell and field oficer Dave Matthews, as we were able to offer far more hands-on activities, such as investigating leaves and lichens under the microscope and making bird and bat boxes."
Kiri Howell said: "The children were all so enthusiastic about searching for signs of wildlife and got really involved collecting interesting items. We had some amazing finds, such as owl pellets, nibbled nuts and frog spawn."
This was the second partnership event run by the National Park Authority and the National Trust and both organisations hope to continue these successful activities.
