WELCOME
 It was great to see so many of you at the BBQ on 3rd July, and I trust you all enjoyed it - the burgers certainly seemed to go down well, and the walled garden was the perfect setting for such a celebration event. It's onwards as always in this issue - with the Walk for Wildlife rapidly approaching plus news on locations for Make A Difference Day in October. I've also selected a few Volunteering Opportunities that you may be interested in...
All the Best, Steve

Surf 'n' Turf in PurbeckThe Purbecks offer such a range of habitats that it seemed a great place to start a group for young volunteers to be able experience a great range of opportunities. With a mix of marine, coastal, woodland and grassland opportunites the only obvious name for such a group was - Surf 'n' Turf'!
