Saturday 16 November 2019
Royal Geographical Society (with IBG)
BBC Springwatch presenter Gillian Burke will give a behind-the-scenes look at of one of the nation’s most loved wildlife programmes.
Gillian will take the audience on a tour of conservation projects around the UK, from rare ladybird spiders in Dorset to beaver re-introduction projects in Cornwall, focusing on some of the most uplifting examples she has come across whilst filming.
At a time when news about environmental issues can seem overwhelming, join us for an evening of inspiration about these surprising oases of hope.
