These pupils from a local school designed a bug hotel. Here is a rough edit of some media footage I recorded for the WWT Arundel of them collecting and filling the hotel with bedding. Here is more info about the WWT Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) (http://www.wwt.org.uk/) Fifty one years ago I was a teenage gosling member, I was lucky to visit Slimbridge and meet Sir Peter Scott at the gosling members Christmas party. An encounter that spawned a lifelong interest in wildlife and conservation.

Wonderful Mick, great stuff and they are our future.

Kids wearing protective glasses, how time have changed since I went to school :)

Cheers.

Hi Allen, Thanks for watching. Yes, things have changed a lot over the years as far as health and safety is concerned.

Mick,

Well done, great little story. Would love to see a follow up with results of their labour.

Kids really seemed to enjoy it.

Hi Alan,

thanks for watching, should be back to film them next summer. Hopefully the footage will be included in an ongoing filming project I have that the centre has commissioned.
