It is a diverse itinerary for the Nature Group this month!

On Thursday 11th September, Dick Houghton is joining the group at the Town Green Centre (NR18 0PW) to give an illustrated talk on Lowestoft Kittiwakes. Houghton is a biologist and bird expert who has served on the Lowestoft Seagull Action Group, in addition to his work as a Lowestoft Town Councillor. Don’t miss what promises to be a curious and enlightening event - the Group told the magazine that all are welcome. The event starts at 7:30pm. On Thursday 9th October, PC Chris Shelley will speak about how the Police tackle wildlife and animal crime within Norfolk, along with some Norfolk case studies. Shelley is well-known for his animal protection work. He was voted Rural Crime Enforcer of the Year in 2022. That same year, illegal hare coursing fell by a third after a police crackdown headed by him. This event begins at 7:30pm.

Admission for both events is £3 for guests, £2 for Wildlife Trust members, and there is no need to book for either.
