Some courses in June and July – you may find interesting…..

Our good friend Dr Deborah Sazer is running a range of courses this year – Gower and Swansea and at Denmark Farm near Lampeter. They are not in Carmarthenshire – but if you are prepared to cross the county borders they look excellent.
There will also be a Butterfly day at Carmel – in Carmarthenshire at a date to be fixed – when I have more details I will post them.
Please email ecology.sazer@gmail.com to book up. Please see Facebook @wildgower – or if the Denmark Farm events are what you are interested in go to http://www.denmarkfarm.org.uk/events/ for more details.
