Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust is a locally based charity working to promote and protect all wildlife across the county. Events, training courses and practical opportunities to help conserve local wildlife form a major part of our activities, all of which can be found in our What’s On Events Guide.
We aim to offer everyone the chance to experience some of Nottinghamshire's fantastic wildlife and to do so we organise over 300 walks, talks and events each year. Many of these are organised by local volunteers - people who care about saving and enjoying wildlife in their own local patch – and all events are open to the public.
In order to let more people know about the events running in their area we are contacting a number of community news mediums like yourselves in the hope that you will kindly include information on these events on your website/in the next issue of your newsletter.
Below you will find the events that will be running in or around your area, and also at our eco-friendly Nature Centre at Attenborough Nature Reserve, over the coming weeks. Please let us know if you are able to include this information in your publication and if you would be happy to receive further details of events for inclusion in the future.
