1 English Nature RIP Facebook Group
A Facebook Group has been set-up by Ron Donaldson with the aim of helping anyone connected with the present or legacy organisations keep in touch. It is intended to be a place to share memories, photographs and videos and is especially aimed at people who worked at English Nature from 1990-2006.
49 Club members may find this an interesting discussion group - take a look at it and join-up if you find it of interest!
