Celebrating World Wildlife Day
World Wildlife Day is the perfect moment to celebrate the wildlife on our doorstep and highlight the many ways residents can enjoy the borough’s green spaces.
Tuesday 3 March marks World Wildlife Day and we’re delighted to share this fantastic photo (by Kevin Percival) of a kingfisher spotted on To Move is To Bloom, the new sculpture in Manor House Gardens.
