About the Wren Group

The Wren Conservation Group includes people of all ages from all walks of life who have an interest in learning about and conserving wildlife in East London - mainly in Wanstead Park and nearby parts of southern Epping Forest but also in surrounding areas and neighbouring parts of Essex.

The Wren Group's new-look Website

The Wren Group's new look website pages are now online. Here, you will find a source of information about the Group's activities, learn about forthcoming Wren Group Events and find out how to join the Group.

Please use the Contact Us page to let the website administrator know your thoughts about the site. Is it what the Group wants? What could be done differently? What else could be included?

Without feedback - particularly from the Group's Committee and Members - it must be questioned as to what value the website is at all.
