Talk by Alison Evans

Brompton Wildlife Day will be held at the village hall in Brompton. There will be various displays and some short talks on the various wildlife studies that have been done on the area. This will include a summary of the bat survey we carried out in June. We will also be having a small stand and would appreciate some help during the day especially with erecting and taking down the display boards. Please contact Nick Gibbons on 07790 113025 if you can help.
