NATURE lovers in Worcester are set for a wild weekend - where experts will be on hand to provide information about the great outdoors.

Pets at Home, Blackpole Retail Park, Worcester, will be welcoming representatives from Worcestershire Wildlife Trust to the store.

Visitors will have the chance to find out all about nature reserves in the area and how they can get involved in supporting the county's wildlife.

A spokesman for the store said despite being a pet store, they got many inquiries about wildlife.

"Pets At Home is supporting the Worcetershire Wildlife Trust as we believe in the importance of the welfare of our local wildlife.

"Encouraging wildlife into modern, less established gardens can sometimes be difficult and our customers often ask us how they can attract more birds, hedgehogs and squirrels into their gardens.

"It's going to be an informative and fun day that both children and adults will enjoy."

A spokesman from the trust said: "Holding an event like this is a great way to get people involved in encouraging local wildlife and kids really enjoy learning about how they can help out.

"We are going to be on hand all weekend to give people advice on how best to support local wildlife and about where to find their nearest nature reserve."

The event will run between 11am and 4pm on Saturday and 11am and 3pm on Sunday.
