Event details
About the event
Lamplighter’s Marsh, situated on the banks of the River Avon in Shirehampton, forms part of an important wildlife corridor along the tidal river near the Bristol Channel. The rich natural history of the area led to its designation as a Local Nature Reserve in 2016.
This talk, with Stephen Judd from Friends of Lamplighter’s Marsh (FOLM), will cover the history and how this has influenced land use, with subsequent development of the site to increase diversity, supporting the national and regional
rarities so far discovered. Conservation efforts have led to this former ‘wasteland’ becoming a treasured local resource.
