Event details
About the event
Every action counts - building a collective movement for 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.
Through interactive discussions, networking & meaningful conversations where everyone’s perspective matters, you’ll hear a range of voices and explore opportunities to work together.
