Wilding screening at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre

TUESDAY 24th FEBRUARY at 6pm

We have a film for you tomorrow night at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre about rewilding. 6pm-8.45. Film starts at 6.30.

There are also two ecology and urban rewilding practitioners coming to speak to us about what we can do to restore nature in our local environments. Wouldn’t it be lovely to keep our birds singing and our local mammals living near us? The deer, badgers and foxes, whether you enjoy seeing them or not are part of our essential environment.

At the base of this food chain are the insects which the birds rely on to feed their chicks.

What can we do to preserve and even increase the natural habitats around us?

Come along and find out Tuesday night and meet some of your neighbours too!

Drop me an email on natalie@drylawnc.org.uk if you’d like to come.
