Many Yuletide events include an element of nature. Why do we have Christmas trees and wreaths? Why are robins such a prominent feature of Christmas cards? What is a Yule log? Why is Santa’s sleigh pulled by reindeer?
This talk will explore the facts and fiction of nature at Christmas with links to biology, geography, history, literature, art and music.
About the event, Anne says:
“My talk has the theme of nature at Christmas and will cover the ways in which wildlife is incorporated into Christmas festivities, as well as winter wildlife spectacles more generally. It will be very wide-ranging, with links to biology, environmental science, physics, chemistry, and geography.”
Date: Friday 6th December
Time: 12.30pm – 2pm (1hr lecture and 30 mins Q&A)
