BIRDLAKE MUSEUM |
|||||||||
| The Bird-Lake Museum is a travelling museum of natural history, founded by explorer-anthropologist Kitty Lake and ornithologist William Bird. Its collections have all been created by young people with special educational needs (aged from 10 to 15 years) at Oakley School, Tunbridge Wells, Rosendale School, Dulwich, Turney School, Dulwich, and Waveney School, Tonbridge. The students worked with artist Sally Hampson studying the
natural world to make birds' eggs, nests and wings, insects and nature
drawings. Visits to the tranquil and enchanting Sevenoaks Wildfowl
Reserve by the students during the project included nature walks, talks
and 'pond-dipping' activities. The Museum was shown at the Sevenoaks Wildfowl Reserve in May and June 2001. |
