About this event

Join Wildlife tracker and avid camera trapper, Stuart Edmunds for a talk on Shropshire’s Otters.

Otters were on the verge of disappearance from Shropshire by the 1970s but have made a slow comeback to many of the county's waterways. Stuart looks at the ecology and behaviour of these inquisitive and often misunderstood animals while sharing his experiences of monitoring otters in the wild, in Shropshire and further afield.

The talk will start at 10.30am and will be split into two halves of 40 minutes. There will be a 20 minute interval during which hot drinks will be served free of charge.

Our café and visitor centre will also be open so why not browse our wonderful selection of wildlife products or treat yourself to a tasty snack/refreshment while you’re here!
