Events in your area
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!
