General Information:

The Weobley & District Branch has been without a chairperson since its AGM in April last year.  It would like to find someone to fill this role who would be willing to liaise with Herefordshire Wildlife Trust, and to help provide opportunities for the branch to realise its objectives.

The chairperson will be well supported by the branch’s very active, friendly committee and will have the opportunity to help shape the way the branch operates as it works to fulfil its objectives.

The branch currently holds autumn-spring talks monthly, and four summer events - e.g. farm walks, butterfly walks, Reserve walks etc. 

All events are managed by the program secretary and the outdoor events secretary who are continuing in these roles.
