The event, From the Saltmarsh, will be held at Cleethorpes Library, Alexandra Road, Cleethorpes, where the talks will take place. A celebration of the diverse plant and wildlife on the marsh, from a wide variety of speakers with a vast catalogue of knowledge, will make the day informative and creative.
