Planning a birthday party for David Attenborough

Sir David Attenborough, who grew up in Leicester, is turning 100 this year. Through his programmes and his activism, he has inspired so many people to love our beautiful planet.
We will be celebrating his birthday by having a picnic and connecting to nature in the arboretum named after his family! Come along on Sunday 10th May with your family and friends and take part in activities including pond-dipping, a guided tree walk, animal mask making, seed bomb making and plastic collaging. You are invited to dress up as an animal or a mini-beast if you wish! Children and adults are welcome - we encourage people of all ages to get involved in the activities.
Climate Action will be running a Greener Gardens workshop as part of this event. Please sign up here if you wish to take part in that. 
[Note: We have invited David Attenborough, but he will probably be too busy eating cake with his family to attend ðŸ™‚ However, we will make a card and a video of everyone singing happy birthday to send to him.]

Please note that only assistance dogs are allowed in the Arboretum - please leave pet pooches at home!
