Ian Jelley, Reserves Volunteering Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says, “If your motto for 2008 is ‘New Year, New Skill’, then we can offer you the chance to achieve just that. Warwickshire is one of the few counties where it is quite common to see well-laid hedges and maybe you have thought that you’d like to have a try at obtaining a similar result. Local expert, Steve Boswell, will be leading this practical workshop, so you can be sure of first class tuition”. ENDS Press contact: Ian Jelley on 024 7630 8998 |
