To mark Earth Day, Dublin Zoo is hosting a brand new event called ‘GreenFest’ on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24thApril.
‘GreenFest’ will see Dublin Zoo and a selection of Irish organisations join forces for a weekend of discovery and learning where visitors can learn more about the planet we live on, sustainability and native species.
There will be an abundance of themed activities and workshops taking place over the weekend, from science demonstrations on composting and decomposing, to how to create a wind turbine – this interactive event has something for all ages!
There will also be lots of special talks on topics such as learning more about where our food comes from and how to grow organic food at home to native species.
Younger visitors will be able to enjoy the earth-friendly arts and crafts, fun quizzes, bio-facts and seeing the mini-aquarium with sea life.
Organisations that will be present over the weekend include: The Irish Wildlife Trust, Birdwatch Ireland, The National Museum of Ireland, The National Dairy Council, Bord Bia and Galway Atlantaquaria.
This event celebrates the richness of Ireland’s native wildlife and highlights the ways in which we can play a role in its conservation. For further information on GreenFest, visit www.dublinzoo.ie or keep an eye on the Dublin Zoo Facebook page www.facebook.com/dublinzoo.
