SUMMARY:The Kite Nature Project: Play with Ecosystem Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Across three connected sessions\, we’ll explore how ecosystems work\, and how we can apply ecosystem thinking to create change that sticks. \n\n\n\n\nOnce a heritage market garden that fed Cambridge\, the Kite Nature Project at Brandon Court is now being reimagined by residents and Together Culture as a shared permaculture space.\nAs the seasons change\, we’ll gather in the Kite Nature Project to learn from nature\, think in ecosystems\, and grow a deeper sense of nature-relatedness. And yes\, we’ll also get our hands in the dirt. \nAcross three connected sessions\, we’ll use the garden as both classroom and metaphor: exploring how ecosystems work\, how change really happens\, and what it means to cultivate capacity in ourselves\, our work\, and our communities. \nYou’ll: \n\nSpend time in the Kite Nature Project learning practical permaculture principles\nExplore social science frameworks that unlock new ways of seeing your life and work\nChoose something in society that is causing some tension – something you’re interested in changing. This could be in a team at work\, a community you belong to\, or wider society. You’ll work with this across all three sessions.\nConnect with others who care about nature\, systems\, and doing things differently\n\nEach session stands alone\, but they’re designed as a journey. Session 1 widens your lens\, Session 2 explores how change actually happens\, and Session 3 looks at how we cultivate long-term capacity to create societal change. \nIf you’re interested in developing your ecosystem thinking skills for making change at work or in wider society\, this series is for you. Book the full series for the biggest impact. \n\n\nMore information and book tickets \nSession 1: Widening Your Lens – Ecosystem Perspective\nIn this first session\, we’ll slow down\, step into the Kite Nature Project\, and practice seeing the world through an ecosystem lens. \nIn the Kite Nature Project \nWe’ll start by exploring the permaculture zones in our nature project on Prospect Row. You’ll learn how permaculture designers think about space\, energy\, and relationships – and how that shapes where things are planted and how they’re cared for. \nIn social science \nWe’ll introduce Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems model – a way of understanding how different “zones” of your life (you\, your family\, your work\, your community\, governance and culture) shape who you are and what you believe. You’ll map your own ecosystem so you can literally see the layers that influence you. \nIn your community \nYou’ll then choose something in society that is causing some tension – something you’re interested in changing. We’ll use Brofenbrenner’s model to develop an idea of where an opportunity for evolution might sit. \n  \nSession 2: Understanding Change – The Purpose of Tension in Ecosystems\nChange is rarely neat. Ecosystems – and humans – rely on tension\, uncertainty and difference to adapt and evolve. In Session 2\, we’ll explore how that plays out in nature and in our own ways of thinking about change. \nIn the Kite Nature Project \nWe’ll spend time observing the blossoms. Blossoms are about possibility and transition – beautiful\, temporary\, a little uncertain. We’ll use them as a living prompt for noticing change\, tension\, and the “not yet”. \nIn social science \nDrawing on work from the Good Shift\, a systems thinking and change institute in Australia\, we’ll explore seven different “change worldviews”. It turns out we often assume we’re on the same page about change… when actually\, we’re thinking in totally different ways. How we think shapes what we notice\, what we believe is true\, and how we act. You’ll be invited to discover you own change worldview and notice how it shows up in your life\, work\, and relationships. \nIn your community \nWe’ll bring back the real life scenario you chose in Session 1 and look at it through different change worldviews. What happens if you approach it as something to fix? To nurture? To experiment with? To completely reimagine? \nYou’ll leave with a clearer sense of your own default worldview\, and new options for working with the societal point of tension you’re exploring across the series. \nThis session builds on Session 1\, but you’re welcome even if you missed it. If you can\, join all three for the biggest change impact. \n  \nSession 3: From Service to Cultivation – How Does an Ecosystem Evolve?\nIn our final session\, we’ll zoom out to ask: how do ecosystems – and communities – build capacity over time? What does it mean to move from “providing a service” to cultivating something more resilient and alive? \nIn the Kite Nature Project \nWe’ll share the co-created “What does it mean to be a gardener?” insights from our Brandon Court community development work. Together we’ll explore how a gardener doesn’t just “do tasks”\, but builds capacity – slowly\, patiently – through skills\, deep trust\, experimentation\, and trying new (and sometimes bigger) things. \nIn social science \nWe’ll look at a simple model that contrasts “service delivery” with “capacity building”. For example\, libraries have often been framed as service places – but what would it look like if we saw them as capacity-building places\, where skills\, relationships and confidence grow? \nIn your community \nYou’ll reflect on the journey you’ve taken across the series with the real life scenario you wanted to change\, and how you might shift from “servicing” it (managing\, firefighting\, fixing) to cultivating it (building capacity in yourself\, others\, and your wider ecosystem). \nYou’ll leave with a practical sense of how to use ecosystem thinking for making change at work or in society\, and ideas for next steps in your own change journey. \nThis is the third step in a three-part journey\, and it will be richest if you’ve joined us for Sessions 1 and 2. If you’re able\, we warmly encourage you to book the full series and travel through the whole cycle of developing ecosystem thinking skills.

SUMMARY:Deep Time Walk in Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:This 4.6-kilometre walk takes you on a journey through Earth’s deep history\, from around 4.6 billion years ago to the present day. \nAt a pace of 1 million years per metre\, we will stop off at key moments to discover the evolution of landscapes and life through stories\, conversation and reflection. \nRoute details: Starts at Parker’s Piece (Gonville Place entrance)\, through Coe Fen and other places\, and ends at the Anthropology museum (Pembroke Street)\, viewing familiar Cambridge through a ‘deep time’ lens (cosmological\, geological and evolutionary time scales). We will stop for a break and lunch at the halfway point. \nDuration: 4 hours | Distance: 4.6km | Accessibility: mostly paved and flat\, with some potentially muddy paths. \nPreparation: Please wear sturdy footwear and waterproofs if rainy\, bring a packed lunch and water. There will be an opportunity to purchase drinks/food at our lunch spot.

SUMMARY:Walking with Veteran and Ancient Willows
DESCRIPTION:Join Cambridge City Council’s Tree and Biodiversity Officers for a guided walk exploring the veteran and ancient willows of Coe Fen and Sheep’s Green. \nWe will follow the willows as they weave across this special riverside landscape\, looking at how these characterful trees shape the fen\, frame the waterways\, and provide valuable habitat for wildlife. Along the way\, we will explore what makes a willow veteran or ancient\, why these trees are so important for biodiversity\, and how they connect people\, nature and place across one of Cambridge’s most distinctive green spaces. \nExpect an engaging\, informal walk with time to look closely at these remarkable trees\, learn about the wildlife they support\, and understand more about their role in the living landscape. \nMeeting point: Crofters Café\, Lammas LandDate: Saturday 6 June 2026Time: 10:30am
