Volunteers needed - Wildwood Trust event
The group has been invited to have a stand at a bioblitz weekend that Wildwood Trust are running in late May.
If enough members are available to help man the stand we'll be able to attend on both days, but any help is appreciated and even one day will enable us to reach a new audience. It's a really easy job, chatting to members of the public about all things batty and with enough people to help you'll be able to have a look around at Wildwood and see the lovely animals, at no charge!
The event will be running from 10am to 4pm on the 23rd and 24th May. To show your interest, email and let us know when you're available to help.
