From micrOlympics to ducking for caterpillars and our famous 'Poop = Gold' display: there will be no shortage of activities on the NIOO Open Day. Regardless of whether you're young or old, an amateur ecologist or just an interested member of the public.
Here's a sneak preview of some of things you can expect on 1 October:
Water quality is essential. Our water scientists will show you how to do your own research!
The real champions are to be found in the microscopic world! Can you guess who's the best?
Join a tour of the NIOO grounds and discover the ecotechnology in, on and around our building.
Enter our ‘black box’ if you dare. There's more alive in the soil than you might think!
Imagine you're a songbird and join our game: are YOU fast enough to catch the caterpillar?
Who knew that invasive species could be such fun? Step into the shoes of a forester or a researcher and explore the good, the bad and the ugly.
Without healthy soil there would be no life 'aboveground'. But there are many different kinds of soil, and plants don't always react the same. Help us test the differences!
