About the event

Whether you’re passionate about nature-based solutions or climate change, keen on wildlife recording or want to create more space for nature in your own garden please come and take part!

The day will start with registration and tea and coffee at 10.30am

The morning session (11am -1pm + breaks) will consist of short presentations from community groups and individuals sharing their own successes and challenging.  We will kick off with key-note talk by Billy Tompsett celebrating his youth inspired Skate Park Pollinators Project at Wiveliscombe. There will also be presentations from Minehead and from Wells on their climate adaptation plans, a report on the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust successful Bridgwater Blue Heritage Project and a presentation from students from Bishop Fox's Community School on their 'Quack Pack' project: a youth-led venture about ducks and litter.

The extended lunch break (a buffet lunch is included with your booking) will be an opportunity to chat to people and browse the stalls from over 15 different community groups and key partner organisations.

In the afternoon there will be a choice of workshops (2.15pm to 3.15pm) that you can attend which you can sign up to on the day. These will include: a walk/talk around Long Run Meadow led by the ‘Friends of’ group, a discussion on how to encourage behaviour change for Nature and an 'open space' session for people to bring along their own questions and stories. 

One of the workshops will also be a ‘climate summit’ and will be the annual opportunity for communities who already have or are planning to develop their own Climate Adaptation Plans to share notes and best practice.

The day will end at 3.30pm after a short summary and update on next year.
