A new community learning series focused on environmental action will launch in Wimborne on 20th April.
Greener Wimborne, Better Planet is a joint initiative between u3a Wimborne and local organisation Planet Wimborne, bringing together talks, discussion and practical sessions over the coming months.
The opening event, What is Planet Wimborne?, takes place at The Reef in Colehill and will introduce the group’s work across the town, including its network of community projects and environmental awards. It will also explore how global frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals are being applied at a local level.
Planet Wimborne trustees Dr Neil Smith, Linda Bunting and Adrian Newton will lead the session, with organisers aiming to make the series accessible to those new to environmental topics as well as those already involved.
The wider programme will cover areas including waste reduction, wildlife-friendly gardening and the role of arts and culture in environmental awareness, alongside a guided walk exploring the local landscape.
Each session stands alone and is designed to combine information with discussion and practical ideas that can be applied locally.
The series is free to u3a members and £10 per session for non-members.
Places should be booked in advance via [email protected]
