Bats, Beasties and Buried Treasure - a community biological surveying, archaeology and activity weekend
11 June 2011 – 12 June 2011
Glasgow
Join us for a weekend discovering the stories of Possilpark. We will be
looking at the industrial and archaeological history, as well as the
biodiversity, of the site. The weekend is for the whole family to get involved
in this amazing greenspace in the heart of Glasgow!
Activities will include bird watching, butterfly and dragonfly netting, a
simulated archaeological dig, a night-time bat walk, pond dipping, arts and
crafts, fishing, kayaking, mountain biking, bird and bug box building, and more!
These will take place all day Saturday and Sunday, with a closing storytelling
event to share about what we all learned and discovered. On Sunday morning,
there will be an outdoor church service led by Clay Community Church at 10 am at
basecamp of the site.
