Fred Hageneder delivered an excellent talk entitled ‘Wonders of Yew’ at the public talk hosted by The Woodland, Flora & Fauna Group on 23rd August. It was to an audience of 200 people and was very well received. The evening was further enhanced by his melodic harp music delivered in the interval. Overall the event was a huge success and resulted in many accolades from attendees afterwards. The group tries to get well known speakers each year to encourage new supporters to join to keep in touch with their achievements and activities. This year was very successful and boosted group membership considerably.

The event was very well attended and began with a preview of the recent achievements of The Woodland, Flora & Fauna Group.

 

This was immediately followed by the excellent ‘Wonders of Yew’ presentation by Fred Hageneder for the rest of the evening.

 

A musical interlude between the two sections of his talk was provided by Fred Hageneder with some delicate harp melodies which were enjoyed by all.
