Participants will be given a tree trail map and a booklet to help with identification, or you can test your own knowledge. We will be running two different trails. For those who don't want to walk far we have a short tree trail, and for those who would like to explore more of the trees at the Botanic Gardens we have a longer trail.
Researchers from the Department of Plant Sciences will also be explaining why identification of tree species is important for protecting them against disease, and what you can do to help us protect trees against disease in the future.
Bringing all lovers of science together for hands-on activities, meet the researchers to explore new ideas and immerse yourself in the wonders of science. Family drop in.
Object handling, experiments and crafts all day, including making your own fluorescent ‘Aurora’ potion, discovering which materials keep you warmer and have a go at making Whale sounds.
Also get the chance to meet intrepid polar scientists from the British Antarctic Survey and ask them about surviving in the Polar wilderness.
Meet live insects, uncover skulls, and go on a safari around the galleries. No need to book.
