Flatford Mill Natural History Bursaries
Thanks to the generosity of one of the centre's regular visitors, we are delighted to announce the formation of a special ‘Flatford Mill Natural History Fund’. This allows us to award bursaries to young adults, who otherwise may find it difficult to attend one of our natural history courses at Flatford Mill.
