The Wildlife Trust in Wales have been investigating the feasibility of beaver reintroductions and they are now working towards a managed beaver reintroduction to the wild in Wales. During the talk we will look at beaver ecology, the history of beavers in Wales and why they should be re-introduced. We will look at both the positive and negative impacts of beavers.

If you’re looking to move your career outdoors, or just need a few months to get away from everything and get stuck into some real personal development, Fast Track Adventure Pro is for you.

Designed to get you up to scratch in all areas of outdoor adventure, the Fast Track Adventure Pro course is an intensive programme of climbing, hiking, paddling and biking courses for the aspiring professional instructor, or outdoors addict.

On our open day we’ll be answering any questions you might have about this exciting programme, as well as introducing you to instructors and to the site.

Join us for a talk by Kim Boccato from the North Wales Wildlife Trust about the return of Ospreys to Wales and the dramatic story of how one Osprey’s longing for a family has melted the hearts of many.

‘The Carnivores of the Serengeti’ is a pictorial look at the big cats and hyenas that can be found around the Ndutu and Seronera regions of Tanzania’s Serengeti ecosystem. The pictures were all taken during the regions dry season when the absence of the wildebeest migration makes life tough for all of the big cats especially the lions. Bob has led many photographic safaris to this region and the dry season is his favourite as the golden backgrounds perfectly complement the big cats.

Bob Johnson ARPS is a well-known wildlife photographer based near Epping Forest in Essex. He is best known for his work in Africa but he has also photographed the wildlife in many other countries including tigers in India and polar bears in the Arctic.
