Forthcoming Events
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.
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.
After the short business meeting there will be
an illustrated talk.
An update of the Greater Horseshoe Bat
Project: Horseshoes Heading East
Speaker: Martyn Phillis (HNHS member)
Martyn will bring us up to date with progress
at the local Greater Horseshoe Bat roost. He
will also explain how this discovery has
triggered a major conservation project across
the south of England.
