Alex, Penn and Simon worked hard on the MammalWeb stand at Glastonbury's Green Fields and, despite having the worst rain and mud in Glastonbury’s 46 years history, this first time for MammalWeb at the Festival was a success !
MammalWeb is an international initiative to engage citizen scientists from all walks of life to actively participate in monitoring and evaluating the wildlife in their area, and contribute to conservation policy and practice. Glastonbury week was a great opportunity for more people of all ages, families and friends to get involved in this incredibly rewarding activity. With MammalWeb teeshirts, animal disguises and an amusing photo competition, badges and brochures, Smart Earth Network’s members and friends ensured that the MammalWeb stand was a fun and informative event.
This year Glastonbury celebrated the International Year of Global Understanding. The Green Fields at Glastonbury, set up to highlight activities that promote and elevate awareness of how the local impacts the global, was the perfect arena for MammalWeb to demonstrate a practical example of how we as individuals can make a difference to the whole.
