THE CHALLENGES OF A WILDLIFE PROTECTION OFFICER

Venue: Snape Institute
Date & Time: Tuesday 4 November at 7:30 pm

Join us for a fascinating evening with **Gareth Jones**, retired Wildlife Protection Officer for Yorkshire. Gareth brings a wealth of experience from his many years in the police force, culminating at his last posting in Ripon — so his knowledge of our immediate countryside is second to none.

What to expect:
Behind-the-scenes stories of wildlife crime investigation — the challenges, the breakthroughs, the things you don’t often hear about.
Insight into how protecting the natural world in our region really works: from rural beats to specialist wildlife crime unit work.
The triumphs (and yes, some of the disappointments) of trying to keep our local wildlife safe and thriving.

Pricing:

* Non-members: £5.00
* Snape Bird Club Members: £3.00

Free refreshments of tea, coffee and biscuits will be served.
Raffle on the night with a chance to win a little something extra and support our club.

Whether you’re a bird-lover, nature enthusiast, curious walker, or just someone interested in what goes on behind the scenes of conservation — this is an evening not to be missed. Bring friends, bring curiosity, bring your questions.

We look forward to seeing you there for what promises to be a compelling, enlightening talk in a warm community setting.
