SUMMARY:No Trees No Seas
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of No Trees No Seas\, a powerful new feature-length documentary exploring the hidden connection between our forests and oceans. \n  \nFor thousands of years\, the British Isles were home to vast forests that swept across the land\, right to the sea’s edge. Two separate worlds\, divided by the shoreline. \n  \nWhat we couldn’t see were the forests sending life to the sea\, and the sea giving life back to the forests. Not two separate worlds\, but a single living system – trees and seas connected in ways we’re only now beginning to understand. \n  \nWhen we cut down the forests\, we severed that connection. And our seas have been suffering ever since. \n  \nNo Trees No Seas is a Cornwall-born project and campaign spearheaded by Plant One\, with a bold mission: to restore both our forests and our seas.

SUMMARY:Calm Under the Canopy (Wandlebury)
DESCRIPTION:Every month on a Friday afternoon\, a friendly group gathers with our resident Green Coach\, David Lynch\, to slow down\, pause\, and immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of the woodlands of Wandlebury.  We wander gently into the denser vegetation\, tuning into birdsong\, shifting light in the canopy\, and the small\, joyful details that are so easily missed in daily life.  David offers simple practices that invite stillness\, presence\, and a deeper connection with the natural world and with our own experience\, supporting us to unwind and rediscover a sense of ease. \nWith this renewed clarity\, we return to the pop-up café to share stories\, exchange insights\, and form new friendships. If you’d like to manage stress more naturally\, live life with greater appreciation\, and become part of a warm\, nature-connected community at Wandlebury\, we’d love to welcome you. \nDavid is trained and experienced in guiding groups outdoors\, bringing together gentle nature-based practices\, ecotherapy principles\, and slow\, mindful movement.  Each gathering explores a fresh theme and builds on the shared wisdom of previous walks. \nThese events are suitable for complete beginners as well as those with previous experience. \nEach walk concludes at the pop-up café\, where we pause together\, reflect on the experience\, and continue building a sense of community. \n3 walks for £50 per person or 6 walks for £70 per person (concessions £40/£60). £25 (£20) per session. To book\, email naturallymindfulnow@gmail.com or text 07375 064336. \nPlease pay for your car parking on arrival or why not become a member and get free parking all year!

SUMMARY:Flora and Fauna at the Old Rec\, Cottenham
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Old Rec’ is a meadow at the bottom of Broad Lane\, Cottenham\, just before the bridge over the Lode. It is so-called because it was created as the parish recreation ground in the 19th century during the Enclosures. In recent years the field has been actively managed to encourage biodiversity. \nTo discover more about the flora and fauna to be found at the Old Rec join volunteers from Sustainable Cottenham’s Nature Recovery Group on the morning of Saturday 30th May. There will be experts on hand to talk about the small mammals which live in the area as well as the moths that fly at night and to show you some of the plants and trees which can be found there. \nThe event will begin early – at 8am prompt – when we find out whether we have caught any small mammals*. They will be released by 10am to avoid putting them under stress. \nThere will be short talks and tours about the flora and fauna at 9am\, 10am and 11am. \n*If you want to see our volunteer setting the small mammal traps the evening before\, come to the Old Rec at 6pm on Friday 29th May. \nThis event is part of the Cambridge Nature Festival 2026\, 23rd May – 30 June\, a celebration of Nature on your doorstep.
