Annual Flufftail Festival to take place at Joburg Zoo this weekend
This festival will celebrate our wetlands.
BirdLife South Africa, together with Rand Water (Water Wise), the Department of Environmental Affairs, Joburg City Parks and Zoo and the Rare Finch Conservation Group will officially launch the 2018 Flufftail Festival at the Johannesburg Zoo on 20 April.
The educational initiative is aimed at creating awareness about wetlands, water birds and water.
The event was first held in Sandton City in 2015, with subsequent festivals taking place at Cresta Shopping Centre (2016) and Maponya Mall (2017).
This year, the event will be held at the Johannesburg Zoo as a platform to create an outdoor classroom to stimulate learning.
This year’s Flufftail Festival will see approximately 600 Grade 6 learners and teachers from eight schools treated to Manzi’s Water Wise Roadshow, Waxi the Hero Puppet Shows and a range of fun educational activities at the zoo on 20 April.
On 21 April, the Flufftail Festival will be open to the public, with opportunities to participate in the activities and stand a chance to win a prize, all while learning about the importance of wetlands, water birds and water.
