Speaking about the summer of events, Jenna Berry, Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre Visitor Experience Officer says: “This support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery is so valuable for the Trust and great news for parents looking to entertain their children this summer and who knows, a summer at Northumberlandia or Hauxley may just lead to the creation of the next generation of conservation campaigners.”
