Abbots Leigh Wildlife Group has been running for around ten years and has regular events encompassing all our work. We have also generated various Focus Groups, which have two common themes: –
1 – focusing on the habitats of our local Parish of Abbots Leigh and Leigh Woods, see map below.
2 – integrating knowledge from the central Abbots Leigh Wildlife Group committee and sharing outcomes from each Focus Group.
