Exploring Nature in the City Yuval Zommer
Event details
Why do different species of birds have different beaks and feathers? Which bugs come out at night? Why are flowers flagrant or colourful?
Join children’s author and illustrator Yuval Zommer for a family-friendly creative workshop and discover some of the incredible species that live on our doorsteps. On this journey of exploration, you’ll learn some amazing facts about the bugs, birds, animals and flowers found in our cities and have chance to create your own mini beasts with Yuval’s help.
