The Exmoor Scavenge
Head into the great outdoors and discover what is hiding beneath your feet, above your head or in front of your nose, all year round!
We can often forget to slow down and pay attention to what’s around us, to explore our curiosity or to learn more about the living things that we share our lives with. The Exmoor Scavenge is a way of taking time out to enjoy the natural world.
Based on Exmoor’s wonderful and varied landscapes, the Exmoor Society are building a series of family friendly events and resources that will allow you to explore the national park to find out more about the wildlife that lives here.
Exmoor Scavenge Events
Designed specifically for families, we run a number of Scavenge events throughout the year which explore the different landscapes that Exmoor has to offer. Keep a close eye on our events page to book your next family adventure!
