Fabulous Photos, Fantastic Friends

14th September 2024 - the third annual Rothbury Great Big Green Event was bigger and better than ever before.

The talks were all well attended - from the Climate Cafe, to the River Coquet Update. We learned more about wild flowers from the knowledgeable and fun presenter, Jane Austin-Walker. Jane Davis gave an update on the River Coquet, and Elke Meiborg hosted another successful Climate Cafe.

We had Northumberland County Council showcasing their new Climate policies and documents - below are Hannah and Heather.

Northumberland Wildlife Trust and Peatlands Project came along, to showcase their work.

Friends of the Earth had a lovely colourful stall, with lots for children too.
