Come along and join in a day of fun, free wildlife activities as we celebrate the Island's coast and countryside at the annual Fort Victoria Foray on Thursday 19th August 2010.

Amongst the activities this year are fossil hunting, rock pooling, wildlife gardening and willow weaving. There will also be walks in the woods and on the beach where we need you to help record all wildlife that you encounter for the naturespot activity.

So please bringing your own digital camera or camera phone so you can show us what you've spotted on the day!

The event runs from 10.30am - 4.30pm and is free. There is an overflow car park available and a free shuttle bus will also be provided from Gas Works Lane near Yarmouth Road bridge.

Further information about the day can be obtained by contacting Richard Temple at IW Council Parks and Countryside by calling (01983) 823893 or by emailing richard.temple@iow.gov.uk.
