Our 'Barnes Book of the Year'
In 2021 the London Wetland Centre celebrated its 21st birthday. To mark the occasion, Andrew Wilson wrote ‘Wild about the Wetlands’, a magnificent record of the myriad creatures that have found sanctuary in its 100 acres.
Created from four redundant Victorian reservoirs, the centre is run by the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust which was founded by Sir Peter Scott in 1946.
A proportion of the sale of each book will go to the Trust.
We have the book in stock.
