Calling all volunteers, past and present, who have ever joined us, or wanted to join us, at Great Stukeley SSSI. This month we're celebrating 20 years of regular conservation work on this site and we'd love to see you at our event on Friday May 22nd. We have limited transport available from the Bedford office on our minibus so contact us if you'd like to come along. We'll have practical conservation in action, volunteers and staff to talk to, and a bioblitz to record as many species as possible on site that day. Plus, of course, tea, coffee, and cake.
