Meeting at Books at One, children will uncover the biodiversity on their doorstep through a sensory treasure hunt on Scott’s Island (opposite Books at One) led by forest school leader Shane Furlong. The sensory adventure will continue with local artist Mary-Lou McCarthy with a storytelling and drama workshop.
