Removing barriers to nature and the outdoors is easier said than done.
Do you find yourself asking, “As a lover of the outdoors, what can I do? What questions are ok to ask? How do I make sure I’m not part of the problem? How can I change things for the better?”
In this webinar, our panellists will seek to discuss outcomes, actions and solutions on how we can all positively effect change, individually, and within our communities.
Thursday 25th March, 19:30 GMT | We will share a Zoom link to join the webinar on the day of the event.
This event will be auto-transcribed using Otter.ai, and we will share the transcription with guests by email after the event.
We welcome questions from our audience which can be submitted via the RSVP form, or shared with our panel during the webinar. We look forward to seeing you there!
