The Treetops Research Centre will be open on Thursday evenings from 7.00 pm until 9.30 pm until the end of October. To avoid a wasted journey, please book a place by contacting Treetops during office hours, as the volunteers may decide not to open if there are no bookings.
Following her talk at Parkstone on 12th May, Pam McClintock will be leading a guided tour around Smedmore House, Kimmeridge, on Tuesday 20th May at 2.00 pm. Tickets (£5 for Members and £6 for non-Members) are available from Treetops Research Centre and at meetings.
