Children running across a bridge in the summer sun at the wetlands.

About

Nine postcards. One epic adventure

Oh no! Pelican Postie has dropped their postbag, scattering mail across our wetland centres. Can you find the lost postcards, discover who wrote them, and work out where the world's animals are spending their summer holidays?

Which creature's been backpacking for 4,000 miles? And who's got themselves a summer job with WWT?

Pick up your trail map from the visitor centre and jet off on a first-class adventure.

Cost: The Summer Postcard Trail and activities are included in your admission ticket or free for WWT members.
