Dancersend: Cradle of Nature Conservation – An illustrated talk by Mick Jones MBE

Hear the extraordinary story of Dancersend Nature Reserve and its woods and chalk grasslands, how Charles Rothschild saved this valley rich in wildlife and his family later passed it to the Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) who have made it even larger. The story also illustrates changing ideas about nature conservation over the last hundred years since Dancersend was established. Mick Jones has been volunteer warden of it for over 40 years
