🦅 Sculpture Gallery Talk - Englands last Golden Eagle with Bill Kenmir 🦅

16th June at 10am. Tickets are free.

Bill Kenmir is the Conservation Manager at Cumbria Connect – a collaboration of farmers, landowners and conservationists, Lowther Estate being one of them.

Bill will talk about the last Gold Eagle in England which nested in the Haweswater Valley. He will recount his time guarding the nest from egg collectors and, through his personal memories and reflections, explore what the loss of an iconic bird tells us about the changing landscape. Landscape-scale nature restoration is essential, if species like the Golden Eagle are to return. A fascinating insight into the natural world around us.

To book your free ticket please visit the “what’s on” section on the website.
