As well as educating, nature-themed events bring people together, provide inspiration and contact with the outdoors and above all are fun!
Awareness-raising and education relating to biodiversity issues is an important role of all involved in the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity. Biodiversity is a global issue but local messages are far more likely to resonate with people. Local plants and animals provide a familiar and relevant connection and provide a sense of place.
Challenge yourself-get out and discover nature in your area!

Join Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust and Katie Appleby from the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust for an engaging evening exploring Curlew conservation and recovery in Mid Wales.
The UK’s largest wading bird, the Curlew is rapidly declining from the landscape and is projected to become extinct in Wales by 2033. Not only is this iconic bird a vital part of Welsh heritage, culture, art and wellbeing, protecting this keystone species helps safeguard a wide range of other wildlife and habitats.
@curlewconnectionswales is working with landowners, farmers and communities across Wales to help secure the future of this magnificent bird – and you can be part of that journey too.
Enjoy a free supper made with locally sourced ingredients, including a seasonal stew, a selection of Welsh cheeses, and refreshments throughout the evening.
