The activities are being funded by Hebden Royd Town Council and run by Oakapple Environmental, who specialise in outdoor learning, natural crafts and forest schools.
Claire Teague, from the Canal & River Trust said: “These family friendly events are aimed at getting people to come to discover the fantastic and wonderful array of bugs, birds or beasties along the canal. Being out alongside the canal, enjoying some exercise is a great way to spend some quality time with family and friends and, best of all, it's all right on your doorstep.”
