Tonight and free - hurry for a space! 💚 🐝 🌸 🦉 🦇

Don't forget you can still sign up for our Meadows Ecology and Monitoring discussion this evening at Bridgend Farmhouse

Absolutely no experience necessary - just an interest in the wildlife that's supported by the relaxed grassland areas in our local parks, and a desire to help with monitoring so we can understand and protect the wildlife that lives there.
