Summer is at an end and we kick off our talks with the 'Wild Goats of the Cheviots' by Shirley Goodyer. Shirley is a longstanding member of Weardale Wildlife Group and has for many years been fascinated by a uniquely distinctive breed of goat that survives in the Cheviot hills in Northumberland. Join us to find out more about the nannies, the billys and the kids! Please see the calendar for full details. We would like to thank the Lakes & Dales Co-Op for the community grant, that we recently received. This will help us to buy equipment for use on our walks. They also provided vouchers for use at the Co-Op, which will pay for refreshments for our meetings. Wildlife is an important part of Weardale's landscape but much of it is being lost. In order to conserve and protect our natural heritage we want to play our part in understanding our wildlife and encouraging others to enjoy our surroundings. We aim to: - Bring together people interested in wildlife
- Record key wildlife species and their habitats
- Encourage local interest in wildlife and conservation
- Share our knowledge and skills with other groups and organisations
If you would like to get involved, your enthusiasm and interest would be warmly welcome. Please see our calendar for upcoming walks, talks, gatherings and events. Please feel free to send your photos for our photo gallery. Please note, we have a no dog policy. Our email is enquiries@weardalewildlifegroup.co.uk or check out our facebook page.
