Den Building

Create your own den!

Building dens is so much fun and this session is all about how to create your own!

Join our education manager Vicky at Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve as she explains how to safely build a den.

Explorers rules for survival:

  1. Never pull branches or leaves from trees.
  2. Be careful when carrying large pieces. Ask for help from your team and watch where you are going.
  3. Play fair, don’t take other teams' den building materials
  4. Watch out for stinging plants like nettles
  5. Keep up team spirit and include everyone
  6. Have fun!
  7. Don’t forget to always safely take down your den and always make sure you do not disturb log or timber piles.

Why not score your den using our sheet below? If you'd like to share your amazing dens with us, message us on Facebook. We'd love to see what you have created. Enjoy!
