Email from Hannah Worker, Freshwater Habitats Trust Project Assistant
Hi Everyone,
As I’m sure many of you know that New Forest is a unique and outstanding place for wildlife. However not everyone knows how quite how special it is for freshwater wildlife too.
This July we, the Freshwater Habitats Trust, are holding the New Forest Water Wildlife Month. This is a celebration of the fantastic freshwaters of the New Forest.
We will be holding events every weekend through the month, offering opportunities for people to learn about and interact with their local ponds, rivers and stream. The events also offer the chance to take part in conservation work for some of the Forest’s rarest wetland plants and animals, and in current research on water quality.
For a full list of event please visit our website: http://freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/projects/new-forest-water-wildlife-month/
All the events are completely free and open to all, although places are limited so please book by emailing Jo at info@freshwaterhabitats.org.uk
Please can you share this email with your contacts, friends, family and anyone else you think might be interested in getting involved. Information can also be found on social media (#NewForestWaterMonth), please retweet us.
Kind regards,
Hannah
