Water Voles – a talk by Alice Wickman

Alice Wickman, Wilder Rivers Advisor, Suffolk Wildlife Trust

Alice has worked in the conservation field for nine years on various river and freshwater projects, including a water vole conservation project in Suffolk. Alice works as the Rivers Advisor at Suffolk Wildlife Trust, which involves working with landowners, community groups, and individuals to help protect and enhance rivers in Suffolk, as well as undertaking river, water vole, and otter surveys.

Alice worked with Bury Water Meadows Group to deliver its backwater creation project on the River Lark to improve the habitat for water voles, as well as many other restoration projects across Suffolk.

This talk will cover water vole ecology, habitat and field signs and include the latest on the success or otherwise of the backwater project.

FREE. No booking required. All Bury Wildlife Day talks are in the Talks Tent in the Abbey Gardens
