Sea Changers ~ Mighty Mammals

This event is one of our SEA CHANGERS Workshops that are running throughout Summer 2024. These workshops are thanks to funding from sea-changers. You can find out more about the wonderful work that they do here at: https://www.sea-changers.org.uk/ 

This particular event will be focused on sea mammals. Although it's unlikely that you'll be able to spot any living mammals in the River Forth, there is still lots to learn about their habitat and what we can do to help them. 

During the workshop there will be opportunity for you to play you part as a good citizen and help to pick up any litter lying along the foreshore than can endanger our coastal wildlife. For this reason, please book spaces for everyone attending, including adults, so that we can arrange to have sufficient litter picking equipment. 

You will also be able to engage in marine mammal themed craft activities and a quiz as well as other outdoor fun and games. 

The event is an outdoor event in a relatively exposed location, so please dress appropriately for the weather on the day, whether this be sun protection or wind and rain protection! 

We would advise parking in the Union Street Car Park in Bo'Ness. From here you will just need to cross the railway at the footpath and then take a short walk over the grass to find us. Alternative parking is also available nearby in Register St Car Park or Seaview Place Car Park. 

The event is aimed at families although anyone is welcome to come and participate in the workshop. A safety talk will be provided at the beginning of the session but please be mindful that you will be close to the River Forth, when deciding whether it is appropriate for you to bring toddlers/young children with you. UTT staff will facilitate activities but parents/carers will be responsible for supervising any children in their care.

If you book and then find that you are no longer able to attend, please let us know so that we can make the spaces to others on the waiting list as soon as possible.

If you have any further questions, please email judith@underthetrees.co.uk
