Dunwood Park Nordic Walkers are a small and friendly group who welcome new members.  We met in March see picture.  We used to enjoy meeting at Dunwood Park Bowling Pavilion and head out onto Crompton Moor or car share to locations a little further away.  We changed to meeting via ‘Zoom’ and have enjoyed a variety of speakers. 

On Sunday 11th October 2020 at 11:00 hours I have arranged that Manchester Museum will talk to us about their collection of insects including bees.  This is how I have advertised the event on our Facebook Page:-  Join Dmitri Logunov, and Rachel Webster, as they talk about Manchester Museum’s latest temporary exhibition ‘Beauty and the Beasts, falling in love with insects’

Dmitri Logunov, Curator of Entomology, cares for the Museum’s worldwide collection of bugs containing a great variety of organisms, such as insects, spiders, centipedes, millipedes and crustaceans. The collection is estimated to house some two and a half million specimens.

Rachel Webster, Curator of Botany cares for the Museum’s extensive botanical collection containing around three-quarters of a million plant specimens, from all over the globe.

This event will be a wonderful ‘Zoom’ opportunity suitable for both Grandparents and Grandchildren and parents and children to access the event. Dmitri and Rachel will be inviting questions during this online event.

All adults with or without children are welcome and children aged 7 – 8 plus accompanied by an adult are welcome.
