Who are we?

Wrenthorpe Environmental  Society. ( WRENS )

Next WRENS AGM is April 30th at 19:30 in the village hall. Click for details.

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.
