Talk on ‘The Nature of Cambridge’ by Duncan Mackay

  • Cambridge Music Centre (old Infant School) New School Road, Histon, CB24 9LL (map)

It may surprise you to learn that the extraordinary diversity of wildlife in the city of Cambridge is such that it is a hotspot for nature within the county. We know this because of a ground-breaking 3-year study carried out under the auspices of the Cambridge Natural History Society.

Our speaker, Duncan Mackay, was heavily involved in the development of the study and publication last year of the book ‘The Nature of Cambridge’*, serving as President of the Cambridge Natural History Society 2019-2021. He will share with us the story of how this ambitious project came about and some of the remarkable findings.

This promises to be a very informative talk as the study reveals so many amazing details of a place we might think we locals know well!

  • Doors open at 7pm with the presentation to start at 7:30pm.
