Poo-Tastic Activity Trail on Brownsea Island

Poo-Tastic Activity Trail on Brownsea Island logo

Brownsea Island is going to be poo‑mazing this half term!

Pick up a free trail at Reception and enter a world of cow pats and dung beetles. WARNING this event may cause lots of giggles. There will also be Hapa Zome botanical fabric printing in the Visitor Centre on 26 and 27 May from 11am-3pm

Discover a wonderfully quirky trail that celebrates an often overlooked part of the natural world. Along the way, enjoy fun activities and uncover some fascinating and surprising facts about animal droppings. In nature, nothing goes to waste, poo can be reused, recycled and plays an important role in the natural world. Try your hand at games such as cow pat frisbee, roll balls like a dung beetle, and put your detective skills to the test by identifying the mystery poopetrator. Lots of giggles and learning for the whole family.
