It is now widely recognised that climate change and biodiversity are interconnected. Biodiversity is affected by climate change, with negative consequences for human well-being, but biodiversity, through the ecosystem services it supports, also makes an important contribution to both climate-change mitigation and adaptation.
This interactive talk will introduce climate change, causes and effects but will mainly focus on mitigation and the important role of nature based solutions and biodiversity in reversing climate change. Open to all ages, please bring a smart phone to take part in the interactive parts of the talk.
Arrivals from 6.30pm for 7.00pm start and talk is being hosted in the Foggage room(upstairs above the café, accessible by lift) Please advise upon booking if you have accessibility needs.
£5.00pp including light refreshments, further donations to support the work of Fordhall Community Land Initiative welcomed.

If you’re looking for new people to chat to, make a date in your diary to visit Fordhall Farm for our Afternoon Amble.
This welcoming new activity is designed to help anyone who would like to get out and connect with others in a safe, socially-distanced environment. We will start with a relaxing walk followed by free tea and cake and then a simple craft session.
You can take part in just the walk or the crafts, or stay for the whole session. The walk will start at 1pm (meet in the Community Garden), while the crafts will begin at 2pm in the Greenwood Shelter. There is no need to book – just turn up on the day.
All materials will be provided and there is no charge for the activities. Just come dressed for the weather! The cake and craft session will take place undercover in the outdoor Greenwood shelter.
