A day of debate around ecological awareness
Our rewilding forum brings together experts and the wider public for a day of debate around ecological awareness, human re-involvement in natural processes, ways of living within healthy ecosystems and the role of science, art and architecture in protecting and restoring our ecosystems.
A vegan lunch will provided by OmVed’s Exec Chef, Arthur Potts-Dawson.
This event is part of the Rewind/Rewild exhibition, taking place 1st-7th May. For more information on the exhibition here.
