It's National Biodiversity Week. From now until May 28, free events are taking place nationwide, offering families a chance to connect with nature and learn from experts working to protect our heritage.

These events focus on the wildlife found along our coasts and in our rivers, estuaries, hedgerows, wetlands, woodlands, and marine environments.
