Join Roger Parkinson from the Woodland Trust for a free talk exploring the vital role of Yorkshire’s forests, woodlands, and hedgerows in tackling climate change.  

Discover how these natural landscapes support biodiversity, store carbon, and protect against extreme weather—and why now is the perfect time to step outside and experience the sights, sounds, and scents of nature for yourself.  
 
Roger will share insights into local conservation efforts, the challenges our woodlands face, and how we can all play a part in preserving these essential ecosystems. Whether you're passionate about the environment or just curious about Yorkshire’s green spaces, this talk will inspire you to reconnect with the natural world around you. 
 
This event is linked to The Sleeping Tree – an immersive installation that explores themes of climate change and deforestation.
