Hello- if you find yourself at a loose end tomorrow afternoon, there is an event in Heaton Park that we have helped to organise. This is Manchester’s Festival of Nature, part of the BBC Summer of Wildlife. There are moth and bat walks this evening, then bird counting early tomorrow, and a lot of events in the afternoon.

Among the stallholders are the Friends of Blackley Forest, Friends of the Earth, the Local Records Centre (our partners), Withington Hedgehog Care Trust, FLS, Uni Environmental Sustainability Team, RSPB, Red Rose, South Lancs Bat Group, Three Bees, and more. We will all be inside, so should stay dry.

I hope to see some of you there.
