Enjoy the woods and farm of a North Suffolk Estate at Thornham Walks, home to a multitude of wildlife. It may appear a long way from climate emergency but by considering past and present farming, forestry and countryside management we will gain some insight into the changing use of energy to meet our needs, and how this alters the environment and impacts on wildlife. We’ll explore how positive action can help, and identify how different behaviour choices at home and in the community can add to a growing tide of national and international action to address the environmental emergencies. Be inspired to take positive actions and play a part in helping wildlife and lessening Greenhouse gas emissions.
