Tales from our River Bank

Co-existence in the River Avon

An evening of talks, film and art celebrating river life

Friday 6th June Batheaston New Village Hall.

Doors open 6.30 for 7.30. Bar and refreshments available

Come and join us for an evening of talks, films, information sharing and art when we will hear from wildlife film-makers, educationalists, conservationists and artists as we discover what we can do now to improve the health and biodiverity of the River Avon.

The evening will highlight the necessity of allowing ALL species to thrive, even the ones invisible to the naked eye. By focusing on the health of the river, we wil explore how we can nurture it and allow it to thrive as a home and habitat for many different forms of life. Do we need to change the way we co-exist with river, and the natural world? Is it time for the river to have rights of its own? The evening will finish with a showing of the film 'Balancing the Scales' made by the Beaver Trust, narrated by Joanna Lumley.

Tickets £7   Available from Maurdens News, 260 High Street, Batheaston and via Eventbrite
