Behind the Scenes of Protecting Plants and Fungi

This is a FREE event with the option to make a donation if you wish to.

From saving rare species from extinction, to giving a voice to plants and fungi and habitat recovery on nature reserves – meaningful conservation work takes many forms and needs a wide range of support. So, how do conservationists work with others to get support for widespread nature restoration? The answer…it’s a big team effort. From our valuable members and supporters, the general public and important funders like the National Lottery – they all support our work. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible impact the National Lottery has had on nature restoration, both past achievements and exciting new projects. If the plants and fungi could say thank you, they would!

Meet the speakers:

Sarah Williams heads up the Partnerships Team at Plantlife, building strong, two way relationships with a diverse range of funding partners from Grant giving bodies, to Trusts and Foundations and individual Philanthropists - helping them to achieve their goals for nature and people by supporting our work on plants and fungi. She loves making connections and building impactful long term partnerships to help Plantlife deliver vital conservation work. 

Paul Rowland -  A conservationist rather than an out-and-out ecologist or botanist, Paul is Plantlife’s Head of Species and Sites and leads the Nature Reserves team. He has worked in nature conservation for over 20 years, managing habitats and caring for protected sites all over England. 

At the end of the talk there will be an opportunity to ask questions. 

This talk will be recorded and a link to the recording will be sent within ten days after the event  to all those who have registered.

This event is free of charge, but there is an option to make a donation if you wish to.

Many thanks
