You will also enjoy beautiful views over the Dee estuary.
If you are interested and haven't been before please register by emailing info@wirralwildlife.org.uk
You will be invited to come along to a workday to get a 'taster'; for what we do and if you are then interested in coming along on a regular basis you would fill in a Cheshire Wildlife Trust volunteer application form.

Wirral Wildlife AGM and Screening of The People's Emergency Briefing
AGM starts at 7.30pm, film begins at 8pm
Thornton Hough WI Hall, Thornton Hough, CH63 1JL
Our short AGM will be followed by a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing. This 50 minute film shows the climate and nature crises we all face, based on the National Emergency Briefing held in Westminster last year.
In the film, leading UK experts outline the threats arising from these crises in terms of our food supply, infrastructure, health, economy and our national security and suggest how solutions can be made to happen.
Afterwards there will be a chance to discuss the film and the actions we can take within our communities.
This event is free and there is no need to book a place.
