Huntingdon Area Local Group

The Huntingdon Area Group is made up of members of the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Peterborough. It is local, run by local people, for local wildlife, in and around Huntingdon, to further the aims of the Wildlife Trust in the area.

Everyone is welcome to attend meetings and events organised by the group. It’s not necessary to be a member of the Wildlife Trust to join in with the Huntingdon Area Group activities, however, if you do join your annual subscription directly benefits local wildlife.

The number of ways to get involved includes:

• Join the committee – regular committee meetings are held to discuss and organise the programme of events and activities
• Come along to winter meetings – learn about wildlife through illustrated talks and meet local people
• Come along to summer events – visit our local reserves, identify plants, learn about habitat conservation or just join in on one of the social events
• Join a work party – there are several local reserves where there is always plenty of practical work to do.

For all events and activities organised by the Huntingdon Area Local Group, please see Events.
