Curry Rivel Wildlife Group activities 2017 / 2018


The Curry Rivel  Wildlife Survey Group  put together this programme of events for 2017.
We hope to do something similar for 2018


We had a short meeting of our small group this week and started to plan a few activities for 2018 similar to this years programme, See below.

This was full of good intentions and some of the events didn’t happen but we hope to do something similar for 2018. We see it as a contribution to the 2018 CR in Bloom entry as part of the community and environmental part of our entry.
