The BBC Springwatch family fun event will be at the heart of the festival. We're creating an activity zone in Anchor Square (behind At-Bristol) packed with free, interactive experiences designed to inspire you get your hands dirty in the great outdoors. Why not join in the BBC's 'bird box challenge' to create 200 new boxes for Bristol? Or you could grab a net and go pond-dipping, picking up invertebrates and tips on how to create your own aquatic sanctuary for wildlife. TV try-outs Budding TV stars should head for our two nature-themed TV experiences. BBC weatherman Richard Angwin will tell you how climate change is affecting your local environment, while the programme’s presenters Chris Vacher and Alex Lovell will let you try your hand at reading the news. And TV wildlife expert Mike Dilger is teaming-up with BBC Bristol producer Paul Appleby to give you the chance of being a wildlife presenter and filmmaker. Little and big kids will love our wildlife word searches and the chance to make the ultimate bird seed pie for our feathered friends. A fun day wouldn’t be complete without scissors and glue, so we’re challenging the children to make the best mini beast costume with recyclable materials. Breathing places Amid all this activity, you’ll also be able to find out how you can get involved in the BBC’s Breathing Places campaign. Working with partners, the BBC wants to get one million people transforming 50,000 places for the benefit of wildlife and people. Our “green map” at the event will show you how and where you can immediately get involved. So come down to Anchor Square between 10am and 5pm on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 June, 2006, for a wild day out! |
