Topical Talks; a series of short interviews with local experts
Each month throughout 2021 we are talking to a local expert about all things countryside and nature
Topical Talks is a new project by CPRE Gloucestershire launched in 2021. Each month of the year we chat online with a local person about their area of expertise. We’ve had some really interesting talks so far, from foraging to rewilding to biodiversity to volunteering with CPRE!
All of the videos are around 10 minutes long so the perfect thing to watch with a cuppa while you’re taking a break from work, parenting, or whatever else keeps you busy.
January to June
The full list so far. Click the links below to watch the videos.
January: Rewilding with Anselm Guise at Elmore Court
February: Dark skies with astronomer Dr Neil Havard

April: Soil and farming with Helen Browning of the Soil Association

We have some really exciting talks coming up for the second half of the year. We’ll share them on our social media pages and our Youtube channel, and on the Topical Talks page of our website.
