Wildlife-themed public events across Wales: 4th- 12th June. Join thousands of people and be inspired by Welsh wildlife.
Wales Biodiversity Week celebrates all things wild in Wales and invites you to join in the fun. Coordinated by Wales Biodiversity Partnership, events take place throughout Wales each day of Biodiversity Week from guided wildlife walks, boat trips on the high seas, green fairs, hands on activities and advice and encouragement from local experts.
Suitable for all ages, events are a great way to learn about the natural environment on your doorstep and its importance to our wellbeing.
With over 70 events to choose from, there’s something to suit all ages and levels of interest. All events are open to the public, ranging from a couple of hours to all day and the vast majority are free.
Two of the larger events cater for a diverse audience and are perfect for a family day out – ‘Botanical Beats’ (5th June) takes place annually at Treborth Botanical Gardens; Jackie Read, coordinator commented “Botanical Beats is a one off. We use wildlife and arts activities, within our beautiful garden environment and washed by live music from local bands, to promote and provide access to the natural world.”
The ever popular ‘Go Wild!’ event, this year in Pontllanfraith (11th June) features local wildlife and offers practical advice on the measures people can undertake at home to conserve and enhance the natural environment. Maggie Iles, ‘Go Wild’ coordinator added “Go Wild! is a fantastic, free family day out, showcasing the fabulous wildlife of the Valleys”.
