Encouragement & support for lifelong learning

Ron Barnet once said that the primary reason for learning is learning how to live on this tiny planet. It's quite profound because all organisms that have ever lived on this tiny planet have had to learn to do this. The idea of a Biodiversity Park is to help us learn how to live on this tiny part of our tiny planet in ways that will help all life to flourish and benefit ourselves in the process.

Awareness, Learning, Education and Self-Education are essential to the culture and practice of a Community Biodiversity Park, and activities that support these are important to demonstrating the educational and social value of the park. To this end we have put together our first programme of activities for the period April to July 2024. They comprise a mix of face to face talks, on the theme of gardening for biodiversity, given by Brockham-based wildlife gardening activist Paul Ritchie; informal wanders across the landscape to appreciate the biodiversity around us; and surveys and map making to reveal the distributions of different plants, animals and habitats. We are also supporting and encouraging our residents to interact with nature through our Whatsapp Nature Group. During the year our hope is that the group expands to embrace residents from across the 4B area. For programme updates please visit our Events page.
