About

Celebrate World Earth Day and meet local nature experts with crafts, activities and displays from Keele University, the Staffordshire Badger Group, Staffordshire Invertebrate Group and more! Meet Inka the Polar Bear, driven South from her maternal den high on the Arctic ice; she seeks a new home for herself and her cubs. As their sea ice habitat recedes earlier in the spring and forms later in the autumn, polar bears have begun exploring areas inhabited by humans.

Accompanied by a Sami gentleman from Svalbard, they have arrived on our shores with a plea for change; The curtailment of carbon emissions, a switch to cleaner fuels and more sustainable economic practices. Step forward and meet the planets largest land carnivore (she's friendly), soothe her cubs and pose for a photo.

Nature Day events are free, 11am – 4pm. Inka performances at 11.30am, 1pm and 2.30pm.
