With spring in the air, it's wonderful for youngsters to get close to nature. The Boxmoor Trust, who manage the grazing land along the old A41 road (and the stripey cows!) are running their annual Lambing Weekend, giving visitors the chance to see newborn lambs in the lambing barns at Box Moor (near Hemel Hempstead railway station). There will be children’s activities, and opportunities to learn about sheep farming and the Trust's nature conservation work. Also on Thursday 11 April, they are running s a special session for children and adults with SEN to meet the animals. These events are very popular and tickets are strictly limited - a £5 voluntary donation for adults and £2.50 for children. Book online:
