Devon Wildlife Trust Wembury centre marks 30 years

The trust has operated at Wembury Marine Centre since 1994

Devon Wildlife Trust's Wembury Marine Centre is celebrating its 30th birthday.

The centre opened in 1994 and the trust will mark the milestone with several marine-themed public events.

The trust estimated more than 500,000 people had passed through its doors since 1994.

Coral Smith, Wembury Marine Centre manager, said: "There are so many people to thank for getting and keeping us here - our funding partners, Devon Wildlife Trust members and the thousands of people who have joined our events."

'Yellow army'

"But without doubt my greatest thanks go to the hundreds of volunteers who have donned a yellow Wembury polo shirt and supported us over the past 30 years – we’d be nothing without our yellow army."

Ms Smith and her team of 40 volunteer marine wardens are holding Rockpool Safaris on a number of dates, including on Sunday, Tuesday-Thursday.

Snorkel Safaris will also take place on 7 August and 10 August.
