A full programme of workshops and guided tours focused on practical solutions for sustainable living is planned for a free Spring Open Day at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) near Machynlleth on Saturday, May 23.
Set in the heart of the Dyfi Biosphere, CAT is one of Europe’s leading environmental education centres. The open day is aimed at everyone from families on holiday to local residents through to CAT’s extended member network.
Programme highlights include seasonal crafts – creative activities for children of all ages – gardening activities including willow weaving, exploration of earth and clay as sustainable building materials, pond dipping, green woodworking workshops and demonstrations and guided tours of CAT’s gardens, woodlands and eco-buildings.
Lunch and refreshments are available from CAT’s fully vegetarian café.
The event, which runs from 10am to 4pm, is completely free and no booking is required. Visitors are encouraged to travel sustainably where possible, with the T2 bus stopping outside CAT and bike parking available on site.
