Cambridge Natural History Society talk - The Kingfishers Bridge Nature Reserve
Thu 30 January 2020
David Attenborough Building
Since 1995, the Kingfishers Bridge nature reserve www.kingfishersbridge.org has transformed 250 acres of farmland some 10 miles north of Cambridge into a vital sanctuary for numerous endangered species of the Fens, employing pioneering conservation techniques that have led to a remarkable recovery in both flora and fauna. Stephen Tomkins and James Moss will tell us more.
Cambridge Natural History Society was founded in 1857 and is open to everyone interested in any aspect of natural history: astronomy, birds or botany, entomology, mammals or meteorology, palaeontology, plants or whatever else you like. As well as talks we do field studies - an opportunity to hone your ID skills - and have social events and an annual exhibition, our Conversazione or NatHistFest. Our patron is Dafila Scott and we are also proud to have numbered Sir David Attenborough among our members.
Join us to meet local experts and others who share your passion for the natural world. Membership is just £6 a year (£5 by standing order), £14 for three years, £100 for life membership. Join at any meeting or see www.cnhs.org.uk for more information.
