Wild Connections training course
Peat-Fest South-West is working across the region to bring educators and communicators together to share learning and experience. Art and Energy are hosting an online training session that will share effective and inspiring ways to engage young people with the natural environment.
Our guest speakers will share their background, expertise and different engagement techniques which will be relevant to peatlands but transferable to other outdoor settings and habitats. There will be an open forum discussion at the end of the session for networking and sharing stories and learning.
The session is open to all and offered free of charge to participants. Peat-Fest South-West is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
