Plants and Animals of Hertfordshire - 21 April 2005

Due to an unexpected stay in hospital, our original speaker for the WI meeting was unable to join us on Thursday 21st April but fortunately a colleague of his, Simon O'Dell stepped in to fill the breech at very short notice. Simon is a volunteer with the Council for National Parks of which there are twelve in England and Wales. The aim of the organisation is to conserve the natural beauty and wildlife of the area and to help us enjoy the natural environment, plus recreation, conservation and protection. The Lake District is the largest with the Peak District being the second most visited National Park in the world.
