What does this evolution mean for the Channel Islands\, and how we – as a society – are facing the greatest challenge to mankind. \nFreddie will then dive into the various initiatives and workstreams which initially brought the topic of MPAs to the policy table in Jersey. These activities played a key role in securing the words ‘develop a network of marine protected areas’ within Jersey’s Island Plan. This then kickstarted the marine spatial plan\, and therefore\, the development of MPAs. Freddie will touch on key research projects\, education initiatives and supporting low-impact fisheries\, as well as what the next steps look like for Jersey. \nBook Tickets here URL:https://societe.org.gg/wp/event/marine-protected-areas-across-the-uk-evening-with-blue-marine-foundation/ LOCATION:Frossard Theatre\, Candie CATEGORIES:Marine Biology END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250512 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250513 DTSTAMP:20260430T151703 CREATED:20250224T112027Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250224T112027Z UID:23529-1747008000-1747094399@societe.org.gg SUMMARY:All day Bioblitz Recorders L'Ancresse East - Ornithology Section DESCRIPTION:All day Bioblitz Recorders L’Ancresse East \n📅 Monday 12th May\n⏰ Sunrise – 11am \n📍 L’Ancresse East  \nDiscover local bird species with expert guidance.

As a result\, they have maintained their original flora and are very colourful in spring\, when paths are cut around the fields so that visitors can take a closer look at the wild orchids.  That’s where we and our volunteers come in\, cutting the hemlock water dropwort which encroaches onto the meadows\, ensuring that the meadows remain clear whilst continuing to use traditional methods of land management.  \n\nMeeting location is here – https://maps.app.goo.gl/gDAPxdWWcuteUnaU8\n\n  \n\nParking – There is a car park alongside the sea wall on Route de Rocquaine – here – https://maps.app.goo.gl/6CW9VPDqTtRZ4x6k7  as well as several spaces for car parking beside bunkers along the coast road in the sand/grassy areas – here – https://maps.app.goo.gl/689nq8BLDFHRgjpaA or here – https://maps.app.goo.gl/j7nb8HHKXRbR1CibA\, and from there it’s a short walk inland to the orchid fields at Les Vicheries.\n\n  \n\nClothing: Please wear practical appropriate clothing you don’t mind potentially getting dirty and sturdy shoes. If you have a pair of gardening gloves and appropriate tools (i.e. loppers\, secateurs etc) please bring them along\, if not some will be provided. \n\n————— URL:https://societe.org.gg/wp/event/la-societe-members-conservation-volunteer-event-nature-reserve-work/ LOCATION:Bridget Ozanne Orchid Fields CATEGORIES:Volunteering END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250427T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250427T153000 DTSTAMP:20260430T151703 CREATED:20250415T104440Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250415T104440Z UID:23734-1745762400-1745767800@societe.org.gg SUMMARY:A visit to Le Creux Ăšs Fees dolmen and L’Eree headland By the Archaeology Section DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nA visit to Le Creux Ăšs Fees dolmen and L’Eree headland \n\nSunday 27 April 14:00 – 15:30 \n\n\nJoin us on a visit to Le Creux Ăšs Fees dolmen and the nearby site of the Camp Varouf prehistoric settlements excavated in 2008 – 2011.
