Family Event: Wild, a Biodiversity Story

Join us in the UCL Grant Museum of Zoology to play a unique game, Wild, a Biodiversity Story!

Delve into a web of ecosystems with an interactive and collaborative game inspired by UCL research; from pond restoration to research around bats, wasps and other invertebrates; as well as initiatives like Knepp Rewilding Project in Kent. Learn how important yet complex biodiversity is to any environment. Focusing on the type of UK environment found a short train ride away from London, we ask you to join us to help figure out what positive impacts can be introduced in nature both with and without humans.

The structure of the game is freeflowing and can be played in many different ways. It will be reset at approximately 11:00, 12:00 and 13:00 but you can join in anytime.

This workshop is part of UCL Museums & Cultural Programmes 2023-24 event series Architecting Futures from Past Traces, bringing together art, culture and research.
