People's Emergency Briefing

Film Screening

28th November at noon

The film shares a Westminster briefing in which the UK's leading climate and nature scientists set out what the climate and nature crisis means for our health, food supply, national security and economy - and the credible, positive responses already available to us to help meet the challenges.

The film is part of a national initiative to ensure the UK is fully and honestly briefed on the crisis as the first step toward a serious national response.

The screening event will be followed by a discussion about the challenges faced by people in Tenterden and the positive actions we can take.

Location: Tenterden Town Hall

Booking: This event is free, but booking is recommended.

Two Years of Funding

We have been awarded £10,000 from the Garfield Weston Foundation, one of the largest charitable organisations in the world, providing vital support over the next two years.
This generous award will help us continue protecting and restoring local habitats, supporting wildlife recovery and inspiring more people to take practical action for nature across Tenterden.
A huge thank you to the Weston Family Trustees for recognising the value of our work.
Super Bug Hotel

Deputy Mayor Kayleigh Brunger-Randall officially opened the Super Bug Hotel in Millennium Garden.
Thank you to Richard Parsons for sponsoring this living legacy for Jan Parsons, who loved gardening. The super bug hotel will provide excellent accommodation and help local insects thrive.

How Wild is Yours?

Each month, we’ll spotlight a clip as our Wildlife Moment of the Month, with the chance to appear here on our website. Post your best short wildlife video clip on our friendly Facebook Group.
You don't need professional equipment – a simple phone or wildlife camera is perfect.
Please always put wildlife first: never disturb, handle, chase, or deliberately interfere with an animal to obtain footage.
