IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE! Please Read!

Oops! We had a bit of a mix-up in our earlier posts, so just to reiterate this is not a film screening!

Instead, this is a hands-on, interactive community MEETING & planning session for the Kendal Local Action Planning for Nature.

While we love a good film, this event is all about your voice, your ideas, and taking real action together for Kendal’s environment. There won’t be a screen, but there will be plenty of discussion, collaboration, and planning for our local nature!

What to expect:
A chance to share your ideas for local nature.
Interactive planning & group discussions.
Networking with other passionate locals.
Plenty of community spirit!

29th October 7pm Book your place here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2003335747148?aff=oddtdtcreator

We are so sorry for any confusion, but we really hope you’ll still join us to help shape the future of nature in Kendal! See you there! 🌷
