"encouraging community building through wildlife projects"
Friday 23rd July 10am to 4pm
There will be a series of interactive activities to interest both children and parents alike
- Bat Box construction
- Bird boxes
- Stag Beetle & Bug homes.
- How to make hedgehog food, Fat Balls, butterfly feeders & Bird feeders
- Leaf hunts
- Wildlife colouring sheets
- Bug & Bird bingo.
Northampton Borough Council will be installing the Bird and Bat boxes that are made during the day.
Also on the day the local Wildlife Trust will be conducting bug hunts and the Peoples Trust for Endangered Species will be involved with the stag beetle homes and the hedgehog food making.
Other groups and societies will also be involved on the day, please refer back to the web site for further details.
It is hoped that this event will lead to more in the future. In the pipeline are; wildlife and wildflower walks, Moth watch nights, Bug hunts, a Bird school, wildlife photography, herbal workshops, wildflower meadow planting & ladybird surveys.
This event will hopefully highlight the varied flauna & fauna we have on our doorstep and the various habitats Delapre Park has to offer.
The event is free and open to all so please come along
