Wild Wednesday Webinars
Watch recordings of our Wild Wednesday Webinars
We recently hosted a series of online talks where experts from across the Lancashire Wildlife Trust shed light on the variety of work that we do here at the Trust.
The webinars were hosted in aid of our Step up for Wildlife appeal, and each topic linked into one of the four key areas that we will be supporting with our appeal; bringing back lost wildlife, creating nature recovery networks, putting nature at the heart of communities, and tackling the climate crisis.
Attendees of these talks kindly donated to our appeal in order to attend. We're now making the recordings available to everyone, but if you would like to watch and are able to make an optional donation of your own choosing, we would be very grateful.
Every penny will help us get one step closer to our appeal goal of £300,000, and will help us to increase the scale of the work that we do across our region to protect wildlife and wild places. Thank you.
