Every three months Wader Quest publishes an e-newsletter, within it, as you would expect there are details about our activities and about fundraising and disbursement of those funds.
These newsletters are primarily for the interest and enjoyment of the Friends of Wader Quest and our Sponsors and supporters. So far there have been two volumes each of four issues and one special edition.
What sets the Wader Quest newsletter apart from others of its kind is the high quality articles that have been written especially for us to publish by people involved with waders in a variety of capacities around the world. There are articles about wader watching hotspots, some famous, others are better kept secrets, there are personal accounts of wader experiences, many articles about Community Wader Conservation projects and research projects that are being carried out across the world.
If you feel that you have something that you would like to contribute to future issues, please feel free to get in touch with us at waderquest@gmail.com or, if you are interested in seeing any of these articles or newsletters, then for as little as £5.00 a year you can become a Friend of Wader Quest and we will send you any, or all of the back issues you require and, of course, all future issues for as long as you remain a subscriber as a Friend or Sponsor of Wader Quest.
