The event was held at The Hold in Ipswich, hosted by Mark Murphy. Guest speaker was Tom Heap, presenter on BBC1’s Countryfile and Radio 4’s Costing the Earth. We are thrilled to be recognized at a county level and a big thank you to all the hard work by our volunteers who help us to achieve our ambitions.
The judges said: “Bury Water Meadows Group engages in high-impact conservation efforts across multiple sites, notably supporting the water vole, a species of high priority. Their future plans demonstrate a commitment to enhancing access and fostering continued community engagement.”
