About the event

Every action counts - building a collective movementfor nature’s recovery 

Free, in-person Community Gathering for individuals, youth groups, community groups, local and regional organisations, and partners who care about nature and want to make a difference. 

The event is centred on connection, conversation, and collaboration, exploring how action at every level — from individual actions and community-led projects to wider strategies — can contribute to nature’s recovery across Bristol and the wider region. 

For people at all stages of their journey, this Community Gathering offers a welcoming, inclusive space to share ideas, learn from real experiences, and build confidence to take the next step.
