About this Event

The talk will also include a brief introduction to wildlife and plant recording, and why documenting local nature matters.

Mark is a keen amateur general naturalist with particular interests in biological recording, the Wansbeck Valley, hoverflies, bees, moths, and plants. His enthusiasm and local knowledge offer a fascinating insight into one of Northumberland’s treasured landscapes.
