Join us for an online talk about The Great Crane Project with RSPB Conservation Officer, Damon Bridge.

The Great Crane Project, a species reintroduction project based on the Somerset Levels and Moors, was a partnership project that aimed to secure the future of the common crane (Grus grus) in the UK. In 2018, a pair of cranes crossed the Severn Estuary and became the first cranes to nest on the Gwent Levels in 400 years.

Join Damon Bridge, former Project Manager for the Great Crane Project, as he shares his insights and knowledge of one of the UK’s first ‘head-starting’ projects and it’s success across the Somerset Levels!

Damon has been working for the RSPB since the early 2000’s and became the first warden of RSPB Greylake before project managing the Great Crane Project. Damon is currently a Conservation Officer, focusing on landscape-scale change to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
