Duck the stress this World Wetlands Day and visit WWT Castle Espie for a moment of calm

26th January 2024

This World Wetlands Day, 2 February 2024, WWT Castle Espie wants everyone to duck the stress of modern living and visit their local wetland for a moment of calm.

Research has shown that just ten minutes in a wetland setting, spaces like a marsh, lake or river, is enough to boost your mood, and WWT wants to share the stress-busting power of wetlands with as many people as possible this year.

To get more people visiting blue spaces WWT, the charity for wetlands and wildlife, has announced that for the World Wetlands Day weekend (2-4 Feb) any paying visitor or WWT member visiting their sites, including WWT Castle Espie, will be able to bring a friend for free.

On World Wetlands Day itself, visitors to WWT Castle Espie can also enjoy a guided walk of the wetland reserve, discovering the awe-inspiring importance of these habitats for people and for nature. Walk begins at 2pm on Friday 2nd February. No booking required.

Find out more about this offer at the WWT website.
