Join us for another season of walks and talks.
Throughout 2020 we’re offering another series of lectures about Fingle’s fascinating wildlife, history and restoration. Below is a little taster of the first three talks, so you can pop the dates in your diary. The first talk of the year is next Thursday (the 6th of February) where Dave Rickwood (Project Manager at Fingle) and local photographer Paul Moody will do a photographic round up of 2019 in Fingle Woods, we hope to see you there!
