As part of Heritage Week 2018 and Water Heritage Day, Castlecomer Discovery Park are running an exciting Water Scientists Workshop for children aged 5-10 years on Friday 24th August.
Under the guidance of our Education Team, children will become Water Scientists as they explore the variety of ‘mini-beasts’ living in the Brokagh stream here at the Discovery Park. Education Officer Nichola Salmon says “Our rivers and streams are home to a fascinating variety of invertebrate life. This workshop will give children the opportunity to explore and discover creatures they may never have seen or heard of before and to think about the importance of maintaining the quality of our water bodies”.
This is a free event but booking is essential as places are limited. Children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the event. Wellies or a change of footwear is required as we will get our feet a little wet exploring the biodiversity around us! Meet in the Visitor Centre at 12.45 to check-in, the workshop runs from 13.00-14.00.
This event is supported by the Waters & Communities Office as part of Water Heritage Day.
