Learn about the natural world in North Devon with our u3a group to explore nature in all its myriad forms. The range of flora and fauna that North Devon has to offer is huge and sometimes unique. This is shown by the number of Sites of Special Scientific Interest. However, the group’s interest extends beyond this to include the physical aspects of the Natural World including the geology of the area, rivers, the sea and even the sky, not to mention the weather. Activities may be indoors but are often carried out through field trips. A small steering group works to coordinate activities. The members keep in touch through a very active WhatsApp group although provision is available for those who prefer more traditional forms of communication. Future meetings are announced in the newsletter.
