Preliminary 2024 Events – others to be added

14th to 21st FEBRUARY

 

National Nest Box Week
This event was created almost 25 years ago as a step towards the conservation of birds. The aim is to encourage us to do something towards the protection of their habitat by making a wooden nest box for your garden.
