The Felbeck Trust looks after precious patches of wildlife-rich land in north Norfolk including village commons and greens, woodland, ponds, a water meadow with a meandering chalk stream and a roadside nature reserve.
On Thursday March 13, the Bishop of Norwich, the Rt Revd Graham Usher, and Felbeck Trust patron and wildlife expert Nick Acheson, will talk about nature, climate, the Church of England and caring for our environment, both locally and further afield, at St Andrew’s parish church in Holt.
Bishop Graham is the Church of England’s lead bishop for the environment, and a beekeeper with a degree in ecology.
Nick Acheson worked for conservation organisations around the world before returning to Norfolk where he is the Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s ‘wildlife ambassador’ and a gifted nature writer and speaker. His first book, The Meaning of Geese, was East Anglian Book Awards’ book of the year and told fascinating stories of the migratory geese which flock to the region.
Nick is also a patron of the Felbeck Trust whose volunteers run wildlife and conservation projects in Sustead, West Beckham, East Beckham, Brinton, Bale and Hindolveston, Wood Norton, Felmingham and Aylmerton.
Tickets for the evening are £11.50 with proceeds going to the Felbeck Trust.
Nature and Climate: The Bishop of Norwich in conversation with Nick Acheson begins with drinks in the meeting room next to the church (drinks not included in price) at 6.30pm.
Hear Bishop Graham and Nick Acheson talk from 7.15pm, followed by a question and answer session until 8.45pm. Tickets from https://felbeckfundraiser.eventbrite.co.uk
