Virtual rock pooling 

The Virtual Rock pooling event is now available on You tube here.

Our next virtual event will be rock pooling. I will be sharing with you the wonders of the littoral zone, the area between low and high tide. Find out about the different zones, life cycles of the many animals and plants. How to identify different types of crabs and where to find them. Take a look at the amazing adaptations the animals have to the extreme environment that is the rocky shore.
The video will be available on the Gower Society Youth facebook page and then on the #Naturedays You tube channel.
Hope you join me online and if you have any questions on rock pool animals before them PM them to me and I will try and answer them on the video.

Virtual Mini Beast Hunt

The virtual mini beast hunt is available on You tube here.

Ever wondered what mini beasts live in your garden?

Even though we are in lockdown we can still get outside,  so join us live on the Gower Society facebook page.  The video will also be available on the Nature Days you tube channel along with the Spring stroll if you missed it last month.

If you have any questions about mini beast you would like answering then email them to me or post on the Gower Society Youth Facebook page and I will endeavour to answer them live.

Also I know it was disappointing that we did not have our annual May Day fete so I have a treat for you which I will announce on Saturday at the live event.  Or tune into the GSY facebook page and your email for a treat.
