Springwatch Wild Day Out - Saturday 5 June, 11.00 - 16.00
12/05/2010
Join BBC Breathing Places and Manchester City Council at the Springwatch Wild Day Out on Saturday 5 June. It promises to be a fantastic FREE family day out!
2010 is International Year of Biodiversity - a great opportunity for celebrating all of the variety of life on earth. Biodiversity is essential for sustaining the natural living systems or ecosystems that provide us with food, fuel, health and wealth, so this will be a great chance to discover some of the biodiversity here in Manchester, and find out how we can all encourage nature in our own homes and gardens.
Come and say hello our special guest Phil Gallagher who is CBeebies Mister Maker. There will be loads of creative and crafty things for small hands to enjoy making, as well as tree climbing, story-telling, falconry displays, and the chance to get up close to scorpions, spiders and snakes. Become a Springwatch Explorer and see what you can find, try your hand at worm-charming or even help to give a cow a bath!
