MIDCOAST Council is celebrating the NSW Government’s Seniors Festival, which runs until 14 March.
The festival is now in its 68th Year.
Its express purpose is to “celebrate the role and contribution of older adults in our communities.”
The theme for this year’s Seniors Festival is Live Life in Colour and what could be more colourful than our local birds and bees.
Gloucester Library is hosting two information sessions about them.
The first session to be held on Friday 6 March from 10.30am until 12.30pm, aims “to explore the incredible birdlife and natural beauty of our region.”
The second session, Native Bee Presentation, to be held on Tuesday 10 March between 10.30am and 11.30am, aims to teach participants “about our fascinating bee species and how to keep stingless bees.”
Other events around the MidCoast Council area include an iNature walk, which will explore the Dawson Wetlands; a Rock Art Workshop at Taree Library; a Wallis Lake Stories Cruise; a Paella Made Simple cooking demonstration at Tea Gardens and Old Bar, and a performance by the Big Fins at Forster Civic Centre.
More information is available at Gloucester Library and on the midcoast.nsw.gov.au/seniorsfest website.
