SUMMARY:‘When the kite builds … WHY and HOW we restored Red Kites across Britain’ by Dr Mike Pienkowski
DESCRIPTION:Dr Mike Pienkowski’s talk “Why and how we restored Red Kites across Britain” includes a 30-minute video including material filmed both in 1989-90 and around 2022\, plus a shorter illustrated talk on the main outcomes of the Red Kite restoration and a Q&A section. \n\n\n\nMike was the chair of the group who planned and executed the reintroduction of Red Kites into those parts of the UK from which it had been missing for at least a century and a half\, and the author of the book When the Kite builds… WHY and HOW we restored Red Kites across Britain. This tells the story of over three decades of work in some detail and with some authority in an accurate and readable account\, lavishly illustrated by many colour photographs. Mike will bring some copies of the book (which contains much more information than can be included in the talk) to be available for sale at a discounted price. All proceeds go to conservation charity. (Payment can be made by credit/debit card\, cash or\, if necessary\, cheque.) Join us for refreshments from 10 am.
