Nick Baker to open Wildlife Festival

Nick Baker will be the star guest at Devon Wildlife Trust's (DWT) Wildlife Festival which takes place this month. The festival is being staged in the centre of Exeter and forms the focus of the charity's 50th anniversary celebrations. The Wildlife Festival is a free event aimed at families. It is being held on Saturday 28 April between 10am and 4pm on Cathedral Green and will be officially opened by the TV naturalist Nick Baker along with the Deputy Lord Mayor of Exeter. A festival parade will start at 10:30am from Exeter's Central Library. The parade is expected to arrive on Cathedral Green at 11am. Nick will be on hand to give advice on how to make your garden wildlife friendly and will help make nestboxes throughout the morning. Jo Pullin DWT's event organiser said: "The festival is a chance to meet Charles Darwin, giant bugs, a caveman, honey bees, insects and a hawk! Have a go at making nest boxes, candles, badges, marine crafts and get your face painted - there will be so much to keep you going wild all day!" The event is being sponsored by South West Water and Tozers who will both be there on the day with free giveaways and activities. For more information about the event visit www.devonwildlifetrust.org
