A series of nature talks & art sessions brought a group of youngsters to West Ealing library during their summer holidays in August.
Members of Ealing Friends of the Earth held four talks that included why plastic is not good for the environment, why all sorts of insects should be encouraged and why climate change is a problem.
The talks and art sessions attracted between 8 to 16 primary-aged youngsters per session – along with their carers. They learned why bees are so important to humans, why insects are good for the garden and how fossil fuels are causing climate change which is affecting animals and plants and humans.
On the final session the children learned about planting herbs and took home with them a newly-planted basil or mint.
