BBC presenter Kate Silverton will launch the Summer of Wildlife day at the London Wetland Centre tomorrow.

The Bat Conservation Trust, the RSPB and Butterfly Conservation Trust are just a few of the twenty wildlife organisations participating in this festival of nature.

Join experts on a bird watching walk to see which species are around or grab a net to try your hand at a bit of ‘citizen science’ on one of our freshwater surveys.

If plants are your passion our horticulture warden will show you around our sustainable gardens and offer tips on how to attract wildlife to your own green space.

Visitors can meet hedgehogs, amphibians and reptiles up close and learn more about them from wildlife experts.

There will be plenty of experts on hand all day to tell you about the fabulous creatures that live in the UK.

As well as all the outdoor activities, join us in the theatre to hear the fascinating tales of BBC wildlife film-maker Paul Williams, just back from filming in Borneo.

BBC Cameraman and underwater film-maker Jack Perks will also give tips on how to locate the wildlife you want to photograph and how to engage with your photographic subject.
