The Tayside Biodiversity Partnership is celebrating its 25th anniversary and we want to shout about all the fantastic work being achieved by Partners and non-partners alike. We have chosen the whole month of June so that we can fill it with events celebrating our wonderful wildlife in Angus and Perth & Kinross.
- Can you host an event?
- Are you already planning an event that we can share with others?
- Could you run a Midsummer BioBlitz event in your patch on Friday 21st June and/or Saturday 22nd June?
- Would you like to run a Garden BioBlitz event on Sunday 23rd June?
- Are you running a volunteer day that we can list which may encourage more people to get involved?
- Is there a wildlife project you will be launching in June that could do with a bit more publicity?
In the past the Partnership has held Biodiversity Festivals and two fantastic Angus Coastal Festivals and we hope the month of June will be full of interesting events many people will enjoy joining. If you would like to add any of the following to the programme (indeed – what have we missed?!) , please let us know via the form below:
- Wildlife walks, wildlife talks, online webinars
- Children’s nature events
- Wildlife storytelling and nature-based book reading (especially in local libraries)
- Wildlife surveys where the public can get involved
- Species identification walks or training
- Bioblitzes throughout June (but especially to coincide with the Midsummer BioBlitzes)
- Practical volunteering days or one-off field trips/habitat site visits
- Geodiversity or geology-themed events
- Poetry readings or nature writing workshops
- Art exhibitions, wildlife films to inspire, mini book festivals – all featuring nature
- Biodiversity-themed conferences, seminars, markets, meetings open to new people
