We were thrilled to be part of the Wildlife Wonders event at Lepe Country Park - Hampshire County Council last week and to welcome so many of you aboard the Discovery Bus.
Recently, we have been at Buckler's Hard with the Bucklers Hard Shipyard Trust, where the team has been uncovering the secrets of the slipways.
In this photo, courtesy of Mary Montagu-Scott of the Shipyard Trust, our Director Garry and Rodrigo Ortiz Vazquez can be seen coring the clay deposits underlying slipway two.🪵

A Welsh staff member will be a part of the team at the event so come and say hello in whichever language you prefer!
