The Newtown Community Association cafe on Sunday 12 May will be partnered by the Devon Wildlife Trust.
The event, at the hut in the middle of Belmont Park open from 2pm-4pm, will include DWT Terrestrial Conservation Officer Emily Stallworthy, who will have a stand with information on wildlife gardening, the bumblebee campaign and what they hope to do in Newtown.
