Find out more in our new Wilder Futures Forum (formerly our members day)---About this EventWe believe that without a vibrant, resilient natural world, our economy has no change of achieving long term stable growth. Blaming the UK's lack of economic growth on existing restrictions aimed at protecting wildlife and wild places is short sighted, and removing these will do more harm than good for both the economy, communities and the economy.PLEASE NOTE:If you are a Somerset Wildlife Trust member and plan to attend the full day, please ensure you purchase both an AGM and Wilder Futures Forum TicketWILDER FUTURES FORUM“How can nature, planning and development work side by side.”This afternoon session is an exciting and open session where we delve into topical discussions and welcome insights from external speakers. We’ll be opening our doors to everyone for this event, and we encourage you to invite friends and family who might be interested.This year, given the pressing intersections between growth and the environment, we have centred our focus on “Nature and the Economy”, with an emphasis on exploring “How can nature, planning and development work side by side.”Our speakers have a range of expertise, from areas such as communities, infrastructure and economics. We hope the session will challenge the notion that nature impedes development and economic growth and that sustainable planning and environmental stewardship can coexist and even enhance economic progress now and for the future.Speakers:Laurie Laybourn - Executive Director - The Strategic Climate Risks InitiativeStephen Elderkin - Director of Environmental Sustainability - Highways EnglandSarah Jones-Morris - Director - Landsmith AssociatesTimingsLunch: 13:00SEssion Starts: 14:00Session Closes - followed by refreshements 16:00ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGThe Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the morning from 11am until 1pm is exclusively for current members of Somerset Wildlife Trust and is free to attend in-person or online.Join us to find out about the successes of the 2024/25 year and our aspirations for the future.Timings:Arrival and refreshements: 10:30AGM Starts: 11:00AGM Closes: 13:00Please Note: Lunch is only available to those who have also booked a wilder futures forum ticketTHE VENUEThe Canalside, Marsh Lane, BridgwaterSomerset, TA6 6LQThere is extensive parking at the site, which is a 10 minute drive from the centre of Bridgwater.
