Please join the Friends of the Tay Watershed for their special 10th Annual Watershed Discovery Day, Sunday, September 19, 2010, 1-5 pm at ECOTAY Education Centre, 942 Upper Scotch Line at Menzies Munroe Side Road, just 10 minutes from Perth.
For the second time, this event will be held in Tay Valley Township at the new ECOTAY Education Centre – a venue comprised of three beautifully restored barns. It will again be held on a weekend afternoon so that everyone can get out and enjoy an afternoon filled with activities for the whole family.
The theme of this year’s Watershed Discovery day is Biodiversity, as the ‘Friends’ help celebrate the Year of International Biodiversity. There will be related panel discussions with several experts in the area, including Kate Green and Simon Lunn.
For the kids of all ages, there will plenty of concurrent interactive activities so that you will have a choice of things to do and see. Special activities include animated movies, an interactive Fish Pond, tattoos, colouring and activity books and puzzles. We will have the Paddling Puppeteer and Voyageur Tim Armstrong’s entertaining paddle-making workshop, as well as the Kettle Boys traditional rope making, skipping, and dancing limberjack show. There will also be many different displays and exhibits, including a repeat appearance of the collection of “kinder to the shoreline” non-motorized boats. There will also be tantalizing food and refreshments by Denton.
So please plan on taking a short Sunday afternoon drive to ECOTAY to enjoy the events, to have some fun, or just to soak in the ambiance of this wonderful new educational facility. In the event of rain, all of the events will be under cover. There is plenty of parking at the ECOTAY entrance off the Menzies Munroe Side Road.
