Birds of Poole Harbour began operating as a charity in 2013 with the aim of popularising and promoting bird conservation, preservation and observation in and around Poole Harbour. This coming January we will have been operating for five years and this Christmas we’ve asked Father Christmas for something extra special. Early next year we’ll be unwrapping a new and exciting engagement project right here in the harbour, a space for you to visit, learn in and enjoy. The support, belief and interest our work has had from you, the public, over the last five years has been pivotal in allowing us to take this next step forward and we hope we can continue to build the charity and the opportunities we offer with your fantastic support. We don’t want to give too much away right now, but here’s a sneak peak into Santa’s Grotto!
