WILDLIFE experts will be looking at bringing back declining species at a special event this month.

A seminar with Edward Darling, from the Grey Partridge Recovery Project, has been organised to highlight the importance of habitat management on North Yorkshire's farmland.

There will also be the chance to look at Countryside Stewardship opportunities on the farm site, and how they may help the declining grey partridge. The free event takes place at Manor Farm, Eddlethorpe, on Monday, at 2pm. Places should be booked through Martin Hammond at Ryedale District Council on 01653 600666.
