Anniversary Event and Reunion Dinner on Saturday, 12 December in Cambridge.
Book now for our celebration day of talks and discussions on wildlife conservation around the world. Our line-up of speakers come from many areas of conservation, from the deep oceans to the high mountains of the Altai republic, and they will be talking about their work and experiences during the day. They will also be showing how their knowledge is applied in the UK in support of causes such as sustainable fishing in the Channel Islands, all the way to lynx reintroduction in the Scottish Highlands. Local wildlife experts will also be on hand throughout the day to talk about conservation initiatives in the Norfolk Broads and areas close to Cambridge, where the day is being held.
And for those of you who have been with us out in the field, be it from a weekend through to two weeks or more, there is also the rare opportunity to enjoy a candle lit dinner in Magdalene College Hall in the evening. The dinner will be a three course meal served in the 16th century Hall, which will be dressed for Christmas. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk to the experts and former team members throughout the day and evening events.
