Tay Watershed Discovery Day

Please join us for the Friends of the Tay Watershed, 9^th Annual Tay Watershed Discovery Day, Sunday, October 4, 2009, 1-5 pm at ECOTAY Education Centre, 942 Upper Scotch Line at Menzies Munroe Side Road (10 minutes from Perth).

For the first time, this event will be held in Tay Valley Township at the new ECOTAY Education Centre – a venue comprised of three beautifully restored barns.  This is the first year to have it on a weekend afternoon so that everyone can get out and enjoy an afternoon filled with activities for the whole family. It will also have much more fun and interactive booths on-site. See the information below for more detail – and the poster attached.
