SUMMARY:TALK: Researching God’s Acre - Biodiversity in British Churchyards by Jess Botha
DESCRIPTION:Churches\, and their associated churchyards\, are a familiar sight across England and Wales\, with around 20\,000 churchyards in these two countries. These sacred spaces are valuable archives of hundreds of years of social history\, places for commemoration and remembrance\, and sanctuaries for wildlife and flora. This last becomes ever more important as our biodiversity is threatened by climate change\, habitat loss\, and the intensification of land management practices.  \nJoin Jess Botha\, a 2nd year PhD student at the University of York\, as she introduces her research and discusses why churchyards are so important for biodiversity\, how church groups are helping nature\, and the challenges involved in doing so. Jess will also be discussing her future plans for her research and what she has discovered so far. \nEntry is free and light refreshments will be available. Hope to see you there! \nJess Botha Biography – Jess is a 2nd year PhD student at the University of York. Her research focuses on biodiversity gains in churchyards as a microcosm for UK biodiversity gains. She is also a fully trained ecological consultant\, and does this work freelance alongside her PhD. Previously\, Jess worked as a Funeral Service Operative\, which is where her love for burial grounds of all kinds came from.

SUMMARY:TALK: Community Involvement in Nature-Based Solutions\, Sally Granger Groundwork
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk from Sally Granger of Groundwork about community involvement in nature-based solutions. \nWhat if we can make more space for the living world and improve the built environment all at once?  Even better\, what if we can we do this with communities\, rather than to them? Groundwork North-East and Cumbria’s Nature-Based Solutions team are working to improve estuaries up and down the North coast and have been using innovative ways to involve people in their work in Whitby Harbour. Join Sally Granger\, from Groundwork\, part of the River Esk Connect (REConnect) project to find out more. \nFree entry\, with refreshments available. All are welcome. \nWe look forward to seeing you!

SUMMARY:TALK: Discover The Merlins of The North York Moors\, Wilf Norman Goathland Nature Group
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fascinating talk with Wilf Norman from Goathland Nature Group as we explore the life of the Merlin\, the UK’s smallest bird of prey. Wilf will introduce us to the breeding biology of this remarkable species and share what has been learned through data from the ringing of Merlin chicks. He will also explore the potential factors behind the decline in the Merlin population since 2000. \nWith the Merlin on the conservation Red List and protected as a Schedule 1 species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act\, this promises to be a fascinating talk about one of the North York Moors’ most special birds and the challenges it faces. \nFree entry with refreshments available. All are welcome.
