Zoology Live: Wildlife of the Past

Tuesday 21 June, 7-8pm

Explore the Museum’s collections, what they can tell us about the wildlife of the past and how this helps us protect wildlife today. We will be joined by experts Evie Crouch, who will be sharing the work on the Butterflies through Time project uncovering what our collections can tell us about British butterflies past and present, and Jack Ashby, who will be answering your questions about the amazing world of Australian mammals. We have lots of fun activity ideas on making your own collections and more, so plenty to interest all the family.

Zoology Live: Understanding Wildlife Today

Wednesday 22 June, 7-8pm

Find out about the techniques used to monitor wildlife, and research into understanding biodiversity and how to protect it. We will be joined by experts Dr Julia Mackenzie who will be sharing her work monitoring British birds, and Dr Ed Turner who will be answering your questions about his work on the insect life of rainforests. We also have some top tips on supporting your local wildlife, and will be discovering some of the wildlife living in the Botanic Garden.
