In order to celebrate Examur National Park, people are being urged to “connect with nature” at the launch of a two -week festival.

The Examur Nature Festival runs from 17 May to 1 June and includes activities including nature walk, art session and yoga.

The organizers stated that they hope that the word of the participants will be “motivated to help take care of this particular landscape”.

Experts are also interacting on topics such as fungi and bird life, while children have a chance to meet one of the famous Examur Ponson of the park.

Festival Organizer, Julie Callman, Rural Enterprise Co-ordinator at Examur National Park, said: “National parks were designed to help support the health and goodness of nations and this is a real opportunity for everyone to connect with nature.

“Not only people are learning about Examur Flora and Faona, but hopefully we are being motivated to help take care of this particular landscape.”

Information about various programs and activities is available on the Examur Nation Park website, and at its visitors centers at Dulwarton, Dunster and Linmouth.
