]]> AGM and talk by Dr. Charlie Gardner April 17th https://southyarewildlifegroup.org/agm-and-talk-by-dr-charlie-gardner-april-17th/ Wed, 03 Apr 2024 19:04:28 +0000 https://southyarewildlifegroup.org/?p=1294 It’s that time of year again, the AGM has come round fast. On April 17th we look forward to welcoming Dr Charlie Gardner to the Margaret Mack rooms in Rockland St. Mary for his talk ‘Walking in Water’ highlighting the growing threat of climate change here in Norfolk. And after the wettest February on record, let’s be honest, we are living with climate change right now. Along with the talk, our chair will provide some highlights from the year that was and look ahead to further offerings in 2024. We would love to welcome new members to the group and to the committee, so if you fancy getting involved with what we do in any capacity, drop us a message on our social channels or grab one of us at the meeting itself.

This talk ticks all of these boxes and more. The Barbastelle Bat may be nationally rare, but we are fortunate that its stronghold is here in Norfolk. But for how long? Dr Packman joins us at Claxton Village Hall on the 21st to talk about the presence of of this enigmatic species in Norfolk, and sadly the threat posed by the Western Link. We hope to see you there.
