Workshop Description
At this Creating Spaces for Biodiversity workshop for Community Groups, Libraries and Family Resource Centers you will learn and explore what you can do in your outdoor space, whether that is a small courtyard, back garden or a few acres. Find out how you can attract in an array of fascinating and stunning wildlife, for you to observe and enjoy throughout the seasons. Plenty of practical and useful examples and tips. Learning Outcomes: • Discover different types of habitats you can create in your outdoor space. • Learn about the various species of wildlife you can attract. • Explore the potential of reclaimed and natural materials to make nest boxes, bee hotels, bumblebee nesting cavities and much more. At our workshops, we offer a range of duration and delivery options to suit your needs. Whether you prefer in-person sessions or online workshops, each option offers unique advantages. For instance, a 30-minute online workshop provides a solid foundation, covering the basics effectively. However, opting for a longer, 2 hour workshop enables deeper learning and allows us to accomplish more together. Choosing the extended option not only enriches your learning experience but also ensures we can delve into more advanced topics and incorporate, resulting in greater value. So, for a more comprehensive and in-depth session, we encourage you to consider the longer duration options.
