Wild About Derrington
April 7th 2018
Thank you to everyone who attended Wild About Derrington, it was a great success. As you will see from the photos, hundreds of people attended and it was free!
It was good to see so many people volunteering their time to very worthwhile projects as seen in the stalls around the Green. A big thank you to all the volunteers and especially Karen Davies and Roy Wood who were instrumental in making it happen.
The Mammal Group: See what was caught in traps (humane) before the event!
