**Update – Valley Conservation Society AGM – 12 April 2025 ***


Read about Valley Conservation Society’s Annual General Meeting
It was great to see so many VCS members and friends at our AGM on Saturday.
It has been a difficult few months for VCS, with the loss of long serving Chairman Bryn Cornwell. However, Bryn's spirit was with us; we remembered him as we reflected on the past year and looked forward to the future. He would be pleased to see the society continuing the conservation work he was so passionate about.
