In recent decades there have been major declines in London and nationally in biodiversity – the variety and abundance of wildlife species (e.g. native plants, birds, mammals, insects). Fortunately, it is possible to reverse these trends in major urban areas like London if local authorities, voluntary organisations and members of the public combine forces and make this a priority. Join local wildlife enthusiast and photographer Czech Conroy, who will describe how we can increase wildflower-rich areas in suburban London, and thereby boost the numbers of pollinating insects (e.g. butterflies, bees) and other wildlife. Tickets are Pay What You Can from £3! BOOK HERE
