The Autumnwatch team will be encouraging viewers to take part in the Breathing Places Seed Hunt – events all round the country designed to get people collecting tree seeds. If members of the public ask about this:
Point them to bbc.co.uk/breathingplaces/getinvolved to find out about local events– they will be marked with an acorn icon
Give them a copy of the Breathing Places booklet. Now A5 and in a simpler format, this has been updated to include new information about Breathing Places grants from the Big Lottery Fund (see more below)
Tell them about any Breathing Places events you are running (you will have BBC empty belly posters to advertise these)
Show them your Breathing Places book collection if you have one – see www.readingagency.org.uk under Breathing Places for a booklist and use your Breathing Places stickers
Week Two – 9, 10, 11 and 12 October
The Autumnwatch team will be launching the new Breathing Places grants from the Big Lottery Fund, in particular the chance for a local community to Win a Wood. If members of the public ask about this, in addition to the above:
Give them a copy of the Breathing Places booklet. This includes new information about the Lottery funding on page 4
Point them to any information you have about local wildlife groups or other local community organisations
