Week One – 2, 3, 4 and 5 October
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
Thank you and good luck!
