Warwickshire Dragonfly Group

The Warwickshire Dragonfly Group is an informal association of county based dragonfly and damselfly enthusiasts. It is the county local group of the British Dragonfly Society and a specialist group of the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust .

The interests of group members vary from simple delight in seeing these lovely creatures to a more intensive recording of the status of Odonata in the county. New members of all levels of ability and interest are welcome to the Group. Please contact the Co-ordinator by email, telephone or post.

"What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet": Extract from "Inversnaid" by Gerard Manley Hopkins
