Other Upcoming Events
Villages can become lost, abandoned or destroyed over the ages for many reasons. This talk will bring to life two villages - Lodge in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire and El Acebuchal in Frigiliana, Spain. By looking at the lives of the villagers in each location we can see the trauma that they went through during their removal from their homes and livelihoods.
A talk to update on one of the most ambitious upland, nature recovery projects in England. Located in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, spanning 561ha across a mosaic of habitats. Nearly 3 years on from starting work on the ground, this talk will take us through the vision for the site, where the project is up to now and the journey that has been taken to get to where the project is at today. With tree planting now complete, the first round of peatland restoration wrapped up and a significant change in grazing regimes underway, to name just a few land management interventions that are leading to significant landscape change within the Snaizeholme valley
A review of the work of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority carry out for and with farmers and land managers within the National Park. The work encourages farmers and land managers to farm with nature, be resilient to climate change and have a profitable business whilst keeping our air and water clean.
