Home Educator Event: Sir Peter Scott – his life, his work, and his legacy
Learn about Sir Peter Scott, the founder of WWT and, according to David Attenborough, a ‘patron saint’ of conservation.
Take a tour of Scott’s studio bursting at the seams with his personal belongings – from his notebooks and sketches to his books and memorabilia.
Whilst there experience the spectacular views over his beloved lake – the Rushy.
Date: Monday 20 October
Afterwards join in with various activities to learn even more about Peter’s interests, achievements, and hobbies. Can you draw a bird like Peter Scott? Can you carry out a bird count over the Rushy? What would your charities logo look like? Plus much more!
