Who are we?

Wrenthorpe Environmental  Society. ( WRENS )

The society is based in the village of Wrenthorpe, which is located approximately two miles from Wakefield in West Yorkshire and was formed in 1989 out of a protest group set up to combat the nuisance caused by a local animal by-products factory. Once the factory had closed down the group decided to tackle other environmental issues around the village. The society’s name was quickly abbreviated to WRENS, and a picture of the popular bird was adopted as its logo,

The aims of the Society are defined within its constitution as:
to conserve and improve the environment of Wrenthorpe
to collaborate with other bodies and organisations with similar interest,
to increase the awareness and understanding of environmental issues amongst residents.
