All annual pass holders to Marwell are automatically enrolled to the ‘Friends of Marwell’ scheme – providing you with opportunities to attend specialist talks, meetings, and social events.
Talks
The programme of talks at Marwell is designed to reflect conservation projects that we are engaged in, together with related themes and issues. Presentations given by members of our own conservation team and project workers will be complemented by guest speakers from partner organisations or projects that have some resonance with Marwell’s conservation aims.
Key subjects include species and habitat conservation, the importance of monitoring and managing biodiversity, and interactions between people and wildlife. On some evenings, talks will be given by a single key speaker, while on other occasions we may give two or three shorter presentations linked by a specific theme.
Entry for the talks, which will be held in the Education Centre lecture theatre, is free for annual pass holders. Annual pass holders’ guests are welcome, but will be asked for a donation. We anticipate that presentations will last from 40 minutes to an hour, with time for questions.
Meetings start at 7.45 p.m. Main gates will be open between 7.15 p.m. and 7.35 p.m for entry to the Park.
