Rachel Rogers, Engagement Coordinator at Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust said:
“We’re delighted to bring Wildfest 2023 to Watford, following the success of the festival in St Albans last year. It’s a great opportunity for families to get outdoors and connect with nature, to enjoy the great variety of wildlife that we have locally and meet some of the amazing local groups that protect wildlife and wild places. We hope that everyone will enjoy taking part in the free activities running throughout the day and be inspired to do what they can to look after the natural world, which in turn will help us in the fight against climate change.
“Wildfest is also part of a nationwide celebration in July to mark The Wildlife Trust’s Nextdoor Nature project, which bring communities together across the UK to help nature flourish where people live and work.”
Dave Wills, Chair of HertsARG (Amphibian and Reptile Group) said:
“HertsARG are excited to be involved in another Wildfest. Our members will be on hand to showcase the amphibians and reptiles of Hertfordshire and to answer questions. We will also be keen to hear of sightings from members of the public!”
