World of owls
posted 29 Jan 2008

The LSC had a visit from an 'owl' man (Mike Gibb) who brought along some feathered friends plus a very large snake!

Mike was excellent in describing the animals and everyone had a great time plus learnt sometime new as well.

The primary aim of the "World of Owls" is to ensure the survival of owls throughout the world. This objective will be achieved by rescue, conservation, education, research and restoration of their natural habitat. "World of Owls" hopes to bring people, young and old, from all sections of the community to a beautiful location where they can be shown the need for conservation by one of nature's most wonderful creatures. The education program of the "World of Owls" is designed to facilitate the National Curriculum's key stages in order to help Northern Ireland's younger generation learn about a range of topics including environmental and ecological issues.

The "World of Owls" had support from "World Owl Trust", (WOT) in Cumbria, 'WOT' has been active in this field of work for more than 30 years from their base at Muncaster Castle
