About the event

Join us for our very first Wild Exchanges! This event is a chance for local community groups, rewilding volunteers, and individuals to come together, share experiences, and help shape the future of conservation in our area. The event is free to attend but spaces are limited, so be sure to book your space to avoid missing out. 

The evening will kick off with an open mic-style session where attendees can introduce themselves, share what they’re working on, and highlight areas where they need support or resources. Whether you're part of an organisation or simply passionate about nature, this is your opportunity to connect and discover how we can all contribute to protecting our environment. Spaces for the open mic are limited so please email wilder@nottswt.co.uk if you’d like a 2-minute slot. We will have a handful of slots available for signing up on the night. 

Following the introductions, we'll dive into thematic discussions and networking opportunities that will help set the stage for future events. Our friends at Broxtowe Green Umbrella will help facilitate these conversations. This is a safe and supportive space to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and explore collaborative actions that we can take to restore and protect nature. 

With a focus on community-building and action, we aim to create a space where attendees leave with tangible next steps and a sense of shared purpose. 

What to expect: 

• Open mic introductions: Share what you're doing in conservation and what you need help with. 
• Networking opportunities: Connect with like-minded individuals and groups. 
• Interactive discussions: Shape the future of our events and actions in conservation. 
• Collaborative action: Leave with concrete actions you can take to support nature. 
• Food and drink: Our café will be serving pizza, sweet treats and a selection of drinks at a charge. 

Whether you're new to conservation or a seasoned expert, this event is for anyone passionate about protecting the planet. Come and be part of the conversation that leads to real change!
