The event will take place on Sunday, 4 June amidst the stunning scenery of Bicton College in East Devon. There will be music, Morris dancing, environmental art, a nature trail, wildlife film screenings and a wide variety of workshops and activities to do with the environment. "It'll be a fabulous day out for all the family," said Carys Edwards, the 91热爆 South West producer for Springwatch. "We'll have plenty of wildlife and environmental activities and we hope people will have so much fun they'll be inspired to go off and help care for the environment in which they live."

The Springwatch event is linked to an ambitious 91热爆 campaign, Breathing Places. It aims to inspire one million people around the country to transform 50,000 places for the benefit of both wildlife and people. It's hoped that people across Devon will join in the effort and renovate an area close to them. "We are lucky to live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country," said Carys. "The moors, parks, seaside and woodlands make this region a special place and we hope to encourage people to bring more of this beauty onto their own doorsteps." The projects are wide ranging and look at both rural and urban areas.

"It could be anything from a school creating a wildlife pond to an inner-city community clearing a derelict area," said Carys. "We'll also have details of how people can obtain funding to help them create a Breathing Place and some of the best projects will be featured on Spotlight, local radio stations and the 91热爆 websites. "We'll also cover a wide range of stories from migrating birds to the creation of wildlife gardens, as well as show some fascinating black and white footage from the South West Film and TV archives." There is also a chance of seeing something a little beyond the normal. "You may even catch a glimpse of our presenter Justin Leigh exploring rivers in his canoe!" said Carys.
