Due to unforeseen circumstances we regret that speaker Dr Maria Pia Casarini is unable to come to our Orkney Science Festival event this Friday.
Janette Park, curator at Stromness Museum, will give a presentation on Orcadians and their connections to the people of the Hudson Bay Area as programmed and we are delighted to introduce a further speaker.
Polly Pullar, conservationist, naturalist, writer and photographer, will speak about living close to nature in her childhood in Ardnamurchan and on her Highland Perthshire farm today, and about the wildlife that she rescues and rehabilitates, including red squirrels, tawny owlets and hedgehogs.
The event is free. If you are coming from out with Hoy, take the 6pm passenger ferry from Stromness to Moaness (book through Orkney Ferries Stromness) and return on the 10pm ferry back.
