Eco-Fun Sunday 4 November 2018

We did have doubts about holding the Eco-Fun day on the morning we were setting up. But, a lot of work and publicity goes into the organising so we went ahead regardless of the awful weather forecast! Setting up in the morning saw Geoff and Cathy get caught in squally rain but after that things improved. A hardy group of 11 children, their 12 adults and our 9 helpers made for a happy fun-filled afternoon. Activities included identifying animal pests and insects (in the Education Centre!), pond dipping (for critters), boat-building from natural materials, scavenger hunt and plant bingo, planting and measuring a native tree (some previous plants are now over 2 metres tall!) and generally enjoying being outside on a day of very wild weather! Thanks to all who helped and all who came along.
