Countryside rangers will introduce youngsters to mini-beast madness this week as they help track down weird and wonderful species.

The session, which takes place tomorrow at Wick Country Park, will lead children through the park and introduce them to the local countryside.

The first session is for six to eight-year-olds and runs between 10am and noon. The second session, for nine to 14-year-olds, runs from 1.30pm to 3.30pm.

Each session costs £1.50 per child and booking is advised.

This event is part of a series that Basildon Council is providing for children over holidays.
