Forthcoming Events

Gardening for wildlife

Date: 8 February 2025
Time: 2:15

Speaker: Michael Joseph
In 2019 Michael described how he and his
wife Jane established a wildflower meadow.
This time he will describe how to create and
improve wildlife habitats in gardens to
increase diversity and abundance, including
ponds, hedges and buildings. Also covered
will be varieties of flowers, seeds, fruit and
gardening methods to attract bees, butterflies
and birds; how modern technology and
equipment
can enhance interest and
observations.

Modern conservation with reference to a national park in Uganda.

Date: 8 March 2025
Time: 14:15

Speaker: Dr. Mark Infield (Conservationist)
Why is modern conservation failing? With 30
years’ connections with a Ugandan national
park Mark will argue that local, cultural and
value-based relationships between people,
place and nature provide a stronger platform
for effective partnerships to deliver the
conservation endeavour.
His recently published book “Beautiful
Beasts, Beautiful Lands” will be on sale at
£18.99.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Date: 12 April 2025
