SUMMARY:The Big Green Conversation: Our River
DESCRIPTION:The Big Green Conversation: Our River\, with speakers + Q&A\nThe Kenton Theatre – 7.30-8.50pm\nWednesday 22nd January\, 2025\nTickets £10 (incl fees)\nBook your tickets \nRiver pollution has been a hot topic in the media in recent months\, but what is actually being done to restore our river’s health? What’s it like to swim in the Thames these days – and is it safe? Can citizen scientists testing the water quality really make a difference? How is local wildlife coping with repeated pollution events\, and is there anything we can do locally to better protect it? \nJoin Greener Henley and a stellar panel of experts who will address these questions and more at our first ever Big Green Conversation in partnership with The Kenton Theatre. There will be ample time for audience questions and answers at this evening of thought-provoking and lively discussion about a VERY local issue! Our panel includes: \n\nDr Imogen Grant – Olympic rowing champion & Ambassador for The Rivers Trust\nLaura Reineke – local activist & Henley Mermaid\nRichard Caines – local river pollution campaigner & WWF International Director\nDr Michelle Jackson – Oxford Associate Professor of Freshwater Ecology\n\nThe discussion will be chaired by Kate Lloyd\, an experienced facilitator and panel host\, and Greener Henley member. \nCome along and join the conversation! Focusing on urgent concerns over our river – the precious ecosystem and habitat at the very heart of our community – we’ll discuss why the river is in such decline\, why it matters\, and what we can do as a community to bring it back from the brink.  \nBook your tickets

SUMMARY:GBGW 2024 - Wilding
DESCRIPTION:Wilding: Special preview screening + panel discussion+ Q&A\nRegal Picturehouse – 8-10pm\nWednesday 12th June\nWe are very excited to present a special preview screening of Wilding for Great Big Green Week\, with a live panel discussion plus Q&A at the Regal Cinema on Wednesday 12 June @ 8pm \nBased on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title\, Wilding tells the story of a young couple\, Isabella and Charlie Tree\, who in the 1980s inherit Knepp\, a failing\, four-hundred-year-old farmed estate. By the end of the 1990s\, facts must be faced: the farm isn’t working\, and they are £1.5m in debt. The land is dying\, the soil reduced to sterile dirt\, with plummeting biodiversity levels. Battling entrenched tradition\, the couple dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature\, with an ambitious rewilding project inspired by the thinking of European ecologists like Frans Vera. \nRipping down the fences\, and hoping to renew the growth of mycorrhizal fungi deep in the soil\, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe. \nOver time\, the soil replenishes itself – with a little help from some charming pigs – and the miraculous return of rare species like the purple emperor butterfly\, white stork and turtle doves\, who make their homes at Knepp. \nIt is a transformation far in excess of anything anyone could have dreamed of\, captured in intimate detail by five time Emmy Award-winning documentarian David Allen and multi- BAFTA & Emmy Award winning cinematographers Tim Cragg and Simon de Glanville. \n\nWatch the trailer here\n \n \n\n\nThere will be a live panel discussion after the film with time for Q&A. \n\nNatasha (Tash) Somers\, co-founder of Pocket Wilding\, a new charity that helps more urban communities appropriately regenerate pockets of land – no matter how small or big. Professionally Tash works with people on their land\, encouraging them to find a place of peace and connection with it and to help move them into a role of custodian by improving the land’s health and biodiversity.\nSally Rankin\, leader of Greener Henley’s Wildlife Group\, has dedicated over 30 years to protecting and restoring nature in and around Henley. The group focuses on creating a mosaic of habitats for wildlife at various locations\, including Mill and Marsh Meadows\, Valley Road Chalk Bank\, Gillotts Field\, and the Greys Road Embankment.\nStephen Doble\, fourth generation farmer at Shiplake Farm and is passionate about farming in a way that balances food production with caring for the environment. Over 25 acres of the farm is dedicated to encouraging biodiversity\, particularly farmland birds and pollinating insects.\nHilary Glew\, volunteer with the Upper Thames branch of Butterfly Conservation and member of the of the local Wildlife Trust BBOWT and the RSPB. Hilary leads guided walks around local nature reserves and woods to spot butterflies and birds. Hilarys aim is to see all 62 Butterfly species in the UK and has a few still to see.\n\n\nBook your tickets here:\n\n\nStandard ticket prices apply. \nThere will be an introduction to the film at 8.00pm\, with the film itself running 8.10pm – 9.25pm\, followed by a 45min Q&A. \nThis event promises to be an inspiring screening and conversation on finding a deeper respect for nature and ecosystems and the approaches we can take to change traditional farming practices and reduce pesticide use\, rethinking our interactions with the world around us. Come join the discussion! \nFind out about all the events happening at Henley’s Great Big Green Week 2024 here.

SUMMARY:GBGW 2024 - In Our Hands: Our climate future
DESCRIPTION:In Our Hands: Our climate future – talk with Q&A\nTown Hall Council Chambers – 7-9pm\nMonday 10th June\nWith the “climate crisis” repeatedly in the news over the past year\, how serious is global warming? What happened to Earth’s climate recently\, and what is to come? Why is Net Zero promoted as a solution to global warming? Is Net Zero possible\, or even desirable? What can I do about all this? \nProfessor Christopher Merchant (University of Reading) will address these questions in his talk In Our Hands: Our Climate Future\, followed by ample time for audience questions and answers. The talk will present the key science that makes climate change a formidable challenge\, and will discuss how ingenuity and determination can meet the Net-Zero challenge. Highlighting optimistic examples of progress towards a sustainable climate\, Prof. Merchant will explain the urgency of faster action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the important roles we each have in responding to climate change. \nBook your free tickets here \nFind out about all the events happening at Henley’s Great Big Green Week 2024 here.
