The Festival of Nature is pleased to be working in partnership with Society for Environment for a special event on June 5th 2017 on World Environment Day.
Festival of Nature aligns with both the 2017 theme for the United Nations’ global initiative World Environment Day – ‘Connecting People to Nature’, and the theme for the Society’s World Environment Day Conference – ‘Innovation, Partnership and the Value of Nature’. Both Festival of Nature and the Society’s conference aim to establish a greater interest in nature, inspire people to adopt sustainable practices, promote partnership working and champion environmental expertise across sectors.
Savita Custead, Chief Executive of Bristol Natural History Consortium, said “We’re thrilled to be launching Festival of Nature at such an important national event for the sector. World Environment Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about all of the important issues facing our natural world, and more importantly, to create more alliances to work together.”
