Spider & Scorpion First Aid Walk
The spider and scorpion first aid walk consists of a short lecture with visuals and interactive workshop on spider bite and scorpion sting first aid. We will cover identification, symptoms, first aid and where to get free medical advice if you ever need it. Then we head off into the reserve to have a look at the resident spiders and scorpions.
