SUMMARY:Lecture: Insect Declines\, Biodiversity and the State of Nature
DESCRIPTION:There is now good evidence that insect populations are declining worldwide in both agricultural and protected natural landscapes\, at about a rate of 1-2% per year. This doesn’t sound much\, but maintained over decades it has already led to a serious loss of both insect biodiversity and biomass. It’s likely that there are multiple causes\, including intensive agriculture\, especially pesticides\, as well as artificial light at night. Insects form the base of many ecological food chains and insect declines are likely to lead to a general loss of biodiversity. \nProfessor Stuart Reynolds (University of Bath) discusses evidence that insectivorous birds are already in trouble\, and examines what can be done about the problem. \nIn person at BRLSI\, 16-18 Queen Square\, Bath\, or online.

SUMMARY:Youth Climate Event
DESCRIPTION:The Young Green Creators\, a group of young people with an aim to make accessible and inclusive climate-based events for young people across Bath\, is holding a weekend of activities from 15-17 March. \nTaking place primarily at Studio 22 in New Bond Street in Bath\, the event\, sponsored by House of Imagination\, will offer a range of activities from democratic and scientific education to more relaxed and creative activities\, all aimed at young people aged 16–25 years. \n“We noticed a niche in the climate justice movement in Bath that we wanted to fill – a lack of accessibility for young people in the climate movement\,” said Gracie Allen\, one of the team behind the Young Green Creators. “We are filled with the powerful enthusiasm to make change\, but we feel that we don’t have the resources or the spaces for this zeal to go anywhere – a feeling that can lead to worsening climate anxiety. \n“We wanted to combat this with an event specifically built with education\, fun and accessibility for young people in mind\, informed by their opinions from our focus groups and our own experiences.” \nFor more information\, follow the Young Green Creators at @youngreencreators on Instagram\, or contact them on younggreencreators@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Woodland foraging walk and wild pesto crafting
DESCRIPTION:Forget shop-bought pestos – this session will give you the skills to craft your own concoctions with foraged ingredients like nettle and wild garlic. It’s easy\, it’s tasty\, and it’s wild. \nOur guide\, local forager Ella Milburn (@everydayforaging)\, will show you how to spot the tasty herbs and greens that are hiding in plain sight all around us. We’ll go to a picturesque wild garlic spot in the woods and then have a wander to discover what else is around. You’ll learn what’s safe to eat and what’s not\, and learn about how to harvest wild foods sustainably. \nThis is a pleasant woodland trail taking you on a winding path through the farm fields and between the trees where you can enjoy the views over the countryside and keep an eye out for wildlife. This trail becomes very muddy\, especially in wetter conditions\, so appropriate footwear and careful footing are required. Some paths can also become overgrown so care with navigation is needed. \nAfterwards\, we’ll head back uphill to an indoor location for a demonstration of how to whip up a nature-infused pesto using fresh finds from our stroll. \nWhat to Bring: \n\nComfortable walking shoes and clothing suitable for the weather\nWater bottle\nSmall basket or bag for collecting foraged items\nEnthusiasm for learning\, exploring\, and creating!\n\nWe are asking for a donation of £15 to attend this 2.5-hour workshop. We do not want to exclude anyone from attending based on cost\, so please change the donation amount if you are unable to pay the full price. \nBook your ticket

SUMMARY:Sustainability Shorts: from wildlife gardens and eco-anxiety to changing time for a greener tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Transition Bath is hosting a new Sustainability Shorts event on Friday 22 March with four speakers\, each talking for 10 minutes on a variety of themes with 5 minutes for questions after each talk. This event forms part of the Climate Hub Springtime Assembly\, at the Assembly Rooms in Bath from 22–24 March. Sustainability Shorts is a free event\, but you need to book a ticket to ensure a space. \nThe speakers and their themes are: \n\nPete Dyson\, Bicycle Mayor of Bath and author of Transport For Humans: Are we nearly there yet? will be talking about ”Shifting Perspectives: Tweaking Daylight Savings Time for a Brighter\, Greener Tomorrow!” If the clocks had changed last month\, what might have been the small but meaningful effects on our health and environment? How might it encourage walking\, cycling\, sports\, better road safety and even reduce utility bills?\nMarian Hill\, an illustrator (and founder of Buzz and Scuttle)\, who has become fascinated with our local native insect species\, will be introducing some of Nature’s invertebrate waste disposal experts who are busily tidying our local landscape and improving soil health in the process.\nCaroline Hickman\, University of Bath lecturer in social work and climate psychology\, will be discussing eco anxiety and distress about the climate and ecological crisis in children and young people globally.\nFacing the difficult truths of the climate emergency; apocalyptic disaster or transformational moment in history? \n“As we become aware of the scale and speed of the threats to the biosphere\, our emotional responses mirror our increased concern in both intensity and complexity\, and we need to navigate binary splits of hope and optimism and ‘doom & gloom’ pessimism. Eco anxiety\, grief and despair are all now recognised as understandable and rational human responses to the developing crisis. Conversations about climate change will bring us face to face with feelings of vulnerability and uncertainty\, but are also essential if we are to develop the emotional resilience that humanity needs to face this uncertain future.”\nAleksander Domanski\, documentary filmmaker\, biologist and photographer\, will give a talk on ‘Unveiling Subterranean Life’. He will be sharing his macro and microscopy filming to explore the interconnected private lives of key players in Britain’s nocturnal invertebrates. Macro footage of soil organisms in action help to tell the story of how life under the surface affects the ecosystems above it\, and how this relates to our own food security and wellbeing.\nNote: There are many more free activities and workshops for all ages over the weekend including:Children’s nature celebration – craft activities\, storytelling and singing;\nMusic from Humm and the Climate Choir;\nYoung People’s Climate Café;\nBath Area Growers’ workshop on the importance of healthy soil;\nVarious stalls sharing information and ideas about positive action for a sustainable future.Everyone is welcome to come along to this free weekend.
