Add to calendarGreen Shoots presents Rewilding Politics and Saving Species with Ben Goldsmith & Hannah Bourne-Taylor In Conversation with Patrick Barkham NAC patron and natural history writer for the Guardian Patrick Barkham will be hosting this conversation with rewilding advocate Ben Goldsmith and bird conservationist Hannah Bourne-Taylor. How can we save species, revive green spaces and create a healthier, wildlife-rich country for everyone? Join two of Britain’s leading environmentalists in conversation for an inspiring and practical night of real-world rewilding!
Hannah Bourne-Taylor has led an against-all-odds campaign to make swift bricks compulsory for all new homes – not only saving the declining swift but hole-nesting birds including sparrows, starlings and house martins. She’s had great success – Scotland has adopted swift bricks – but also met with opposition from all corners of Westminster. Ben Goldsmith is the most influential environmentalist you may never have heard of – he’s supported the reintroduction of beavers across the land, is rewilding his own Somerset farm and has been a key figure behind-the-scenes in persuading successive governments to support nature-friendly measures.
Both Hannah and Ben are eloquent, passionate speakers who will bring their great love of nature to the stage in Norwich – for an event packed with practical and spiritual ideas for rewilding our souls, cities and countryside.
