RINGs newsletter brings Warwickshire people closer to nature
An electronic newsletter is bringing information on natural history events in and around Warwickshire to nature lovers at the touch of a button.
The Warwickshire RINGs newsletter, produced three times a year by Warwickshire Museum, is a unique directory giving details on nearly 500 forthcoming natural history events in the area as well as providing information on over 60 local groups that can be joined. These include natural history societies not only in Warwickshire but also in Coventry and Solihull.
According to Steven Falk, senior keeper of Natural History, RINGs is a unique resource. He said: “I am not aware of any other county where such detailed information is so instantly available. This is a unique directory which Warwickshire County Council is keen to make available to as many people as possible in Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull. So whether you’re interested in surveying the moths in your garden, turning detective to trace the survival of the dormouse or simply country walks and bird watching, there is something here for nature lovers of all ages, abilities and interests.”
Nature enthusiasts can download the newsletter, which is published every January, May and September, at http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/rings or obtain a printed copy from Steven Falk by calling 01926 412481.
