Twelve members enjoyed a guided visit to Pensthorpe Conservation Area on Saturday July 21^st led by Andrew Reeve who is the Manager of the site. Andrew was able to explain the changes that had taken place at Pensthorpe over recent years and emphasized the valuable conservation efforts the Trust was involved in along with other groups like the RSPB and the Wildlife and Wetland Trust. He explained that Pensthorpe has to attract visitors so that this work can be sustained and that they had increased the visitor numbers over recent years but more were needed to reach a break even point.
