Wild about Bath, started by Ann Stuart and Christine Absolon to ‘Enjoy Nature, Conserve Wildlife and Build Community’ is again holding a Photograpy Competition to be held at Harvest in Holy Trinity Church. All the details can be found below, taken from the Wild About Bath website. In this early Summer season, there is a lot of new life to photograph, so keep Wild about Bath in mind! 😊
The very successful Wild about Bath Photography Competition is on again this year! Enter your lovely photos of wildlife in Combe Down, Monkton Combe, South Stoke, and the surrounding area.
There are two different categories for you to enter:
Celebrating the diversity of nature in our local area
Wild animals, plants, fungi, lichens, etc. See what you can find out there.
Supporting nature in our local area
For example, this could be how insect hotels are helping bees; the creatures making homes and thriving in our compost heaps and ponds; hedgehogs using our hedgehog corridors. The options are wide!
Groups
There are three age categories:
Children under 12
Youth from 12 to 18
Adults
