"Treemendous" fun was had by visitors to Glantawe Riverside Park on Sunday. Staff from RSPB and Arena Pontardawe's Riverside Centre were on hand for a spot of winter tree and bird identification. Participants were able to plant a tree (part of our new hedged picnic area) and make a leaf key to help identify trees on their travels. They also made a paper pot out of recycled newspaper in which they put peat free compost and sunflower seeds to grow and nurture. When they have fully grown they will provide birds with a tasty treat.
On the RSPB table, children were able to make bird feeders and squeeze soft toy birds with authentic bird calls, then try to work out what birds they were from a poster. There was also a winter twig identification worksheet to work out and fill in.
