Ahead of World Rainforest Day we’re putting the spotlight on temperate rainforests in Britain. These globally important habitats are rare and often forgotten. But did you know they have the greatest concentration of oceanic lichens and mosses in Europe and are home to many lower plants that pre-date humans? Join Plantlife’s rainforest experts Adam and Sabine to learn more about these glorious ancient woodlands and how Plantlife is protecting them, alongside artist Joya Berrow who explores the relationship between humanity and nature. 

 This talk is being led by: 

Adam Thorogood is Plantlife's Rainforest Programme Manager. He works across the rainforest landscape in Wales and England, coordinating projects which directly address threats to rainforest condition. A chartered forester with over 20 years experience of working at the intersection of forestry, woodland management and ecology, he understands the complex needs of rainforest indicator species and the practical management operations needed to safeguard them.

Sabine Nouvet is a Canadian ecologist, who has lived in North Wales for the last 20 years. During this time, she worked across a wide range of habitats in Eryri (Snowdonia). Meanwhile, she also developed a unique skill at bridging the gap between farmers, land managers, and conservationists. Sabine walked into the Welsh Rainforests about five years ago to look for some invasive Rhododendron, and never came out!

Joya Berrow is a storyteller, director & photographer focused on human stories that connect people, planet and purpose, told through a stylised documentary lens. Based in the UK between Dorset & London. 

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 a week or so to all those who register to attend.

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

Many thanks
