December Monday 8th 17.30-18.30 Log on from 17.00 David Hunt: National Trust Neptune Coastline Campaign
The very first property acquired by the National Trust soon after its foundation in 1895 was a small plot of clifftop above Barmouth. During the 1960’s the Trust became especially aware of increasing pressures on the coast from developments of various forms, and they identified 1000 miles that was beautiful. They decided to acquire as much of that coast as possible and now the ownership stands at over 770 miles.
The talk is an introduction to coastal properties throughout England and Wales, with an emphasis on showing the lovely areas that we and future generations can enjoy.
David is a long-term National Trust enthusiast and visits many areas of countryside and coastline as well as enjoying the houses and gardens with which the trust is more commonly associated. He has been a keen amateur photographer since schooldays, and all the talks are illustrated with his own photographs. For several years he was a volunteer tour guide at Shalford Mill, a National Trust property near Guildford. He is a member of Bracknell Forest u3a. To book for this talk please Register here
