Description
Heal Live: London – find out the latest on the upcoming Heal film about rewilding our first site in Somerset and join us and our expert panellists to discuss access to nature and the need to create sanctuary for wildlife.
Heal is back on the road for Heal Live! We have a series of three in-person events, with the first in London followed by York and Birmingham. Each event offers an opportunity to hear about the ups and downs of establishing our first rewilding site, Heal Somerset, including an update on our upcoming film showing the beginning of its amazing journey towards recovery. We’re really excited to share with you the changes we’ve witnessed and to show what rewilding can give back to wildlife, to people and to communities in a relatively short space of time.
We will also be joined by some brilliant expert London-based speakers from within the rewilding and wildlife sectors where we will hear about examples of innovation and good practice in the area. We will also be asking what the local rewilding community is doing to tackle disparity in access to nature, whilst ensuring balance when it comes to wildlife’s need for sanctuary. There will be the chance for everyone attending to contribute, challenge and question, to deepen the conversation.
Confirmed speakers for this event include:
- Jan Stannard, founder and acting CEO, Heal Rewilding
- Elliot Newton, co-founder, Citizen Zoo
- Jasmine Isa Qureshi, intersectional writer, activist and storyteller
This will be an engaging, warm and informative evening full of stories of hope and positive change, so will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in nature and wildlife, from rewilding and wildlife experts and professionals, students and campaigners to young people, landowners and anyone who is interested in finding out more about the principles of rewilding or is simply seeking answers in the face of devastating nature and climate decline in the UK.
