Bristol & Bath
From rewilding to plogging to a sport imaginarium, discover climate and nature inspiration in Bristol & Bath with the Running Out Of Time Climate Relay.
Rewilding, Plogging, and a Sport Imaginarium
Rewilding with Belmont Estate
The first stop on this episode Watercress Farm, an incredible example of rewilding, rewetting and restoring the landscape. The farm is part of the Belmont Estate which has been on a ten- year journey to connect climate, nature and community. Discover how they are restoring natural processes and welcoming people to the project as a catalyst for change. Each year through their nature connection program they welcome 4,000 children to explore, climb, learn and wonder.
Plogging with Planet Earth Games
Next up a quick plog, a cross between litter picking and jogging, with Planet Earth Games founder Chris Broadbent.
Sport Imaginarium with local Olympians
Optimistic vision for a sustainable future. Olympic gold medallist Etienne Stott and Olympic sailor Laura Baldwin explain the Sport Imaginarium, a fun and collaborative climate workshop inspired by Rob Hopkins. Etienne and Laura are taking the Sport Imaginarium to the Paris Olympics and they have a handy toolkit that you can use with your sporting organisation!
Listen to hear more about these initiatives, which are all finding ways to inspire more action for climate and nature.
