Looking back to two weeks in La Brenne via the EuCAN - THE EUROPEAN CONSERVATION ACTION NETWORK,

At very short notice finding out about the trip on Saturday by the following Saturday i had travelled down from Yorkshire to Dorset to abandon my car on a farm and then jump on the fun bus for the trip to Portsmouth and the overnight crossing to caen. Then an overland drive to Meziéres en Brenne.

Two weeks of hard work enriching the habitat for butterflies and dragonflies by clearing scrub and trees flew by. Whilst there we got to see wild boar, red deer, musk rats, coypu, tree frogs, praying mantis and many other sights.

There was the odd day off to see some sights and recover from wine tasting night as well as the Randonnees en Brenne (50 odd miles of off road cycling).
