Today we are saying a massive THANKYOU to all the wonderful volunteers at Hengistbury Head, which includes all the wonderful folk in the shop and visitors centre, the wildlife gardeners and those out on the reserve.
A quote from Dennis (Pictured right)
I have been volunteering for 6 years and have enjoyed it immensely. There is a great variety of jobs to do. It is also good to 'give something back' and to maintain Hengistbury Head so that people can visit and enjoy. A great part of it is working with nice, friendly, like minded people!
Thanks Dennis and thanks ladies for the photos!
Love Bournemouth BCP Council
