The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation is currently celebrating its 35th year, do you have any events planned?

Our annual art competition, Wildlife Artist of the Year opens in London at the Mall Galleries from May 27 to 31 and we’ll be marking 35 years of conservation alongside the exhibition, a breath-taking celebration of our art heritage.
