The World at Your Feet David Raffaelli
Event details
At a time when the biodiversity and climate crisis has been brought into sharp focus by the United Nations Climate Change Conferences in Montreal and Glasgow, we’re inviting you to Three Hagges Woodmeadow to find out where the real action is - hint: you’ll be standing on it!
The soil beneath our feet holds much of the world’s carbon and is home to life forms and interactions as complex and fascinating as those in a rock pool, but which few of us ever see.
Learn about the partnerships between fungi, flowering plants and trees, strange animals you may not have heard of before, as well as the more familiar earthworms and the part they play in keeping our soils, and our planet, healthy.
Come along and rediscover your curiosity, reimagine what Nature means and learn how to rebuild the health of the soil through the work at Three Hagges Woodmeadow.
Three Hagges Woodmeadow is just six miles south of York. Accessible parking and bike racks are available. It is easily accessible by bus route 415 York to Selby (Hollicarrs stop is just a five-minute walk away) and Sustrans Bike Route 65 (five-minute cycle).
All ages are welcome.
The event is free, but donations are welcome.
