Sir David Attenborough is turning 100 and we’re celebrating properly, with his signature films, big ideas and a world class panel of climate change experts who know what they’re talking about.

Join us on Friday 8 May, between 6pm – 8pm at Monash University (Caulfield campus) for a screening of classic David Attenborough moments, followed by a conversation with the Port Phillip Baykeeper Neil Blake OAM, senior lecturer of climate science Dr Linden Ashcroft, urban ecologist Dr Jacinta Humphrey and climate science communicator Amelia Pearson. We’ll celebrate the natural world, talk climate and biodiversity close to home, and ask the big question: what can each of us do for nature?

The event is free and will sell out quickly. Secure your ticket below and don’t miss out!

My daughter wanted to plant some flowers in the garden to brighten things up as we can’t seem to find too much colour growing at the moment. These snap dragons have been thriving since they entered the soil 🤩
