To accommodate a talk you will need the following:

• A venue large enough to comfortably accommodate both your audience and a speaker with projection equipment
  
• A projection screen or plain white wall to project upon
  
• Tables for leaflets and for a projector
  
• Black-out facilities if your talk is to be held during daylight hours
  
• Adequate time. Presentations last for around 40 – 45 minutes

Our speakers can accommodate audiences of 100+ people. There is no set fee, but we ask that you are willing to cover the cost of our volunteers' travel expenses and consider making a donation to the Trust* to help us continue our conservation work.

*As a guideline we recommend a donation of £1 per audience head.
