Communities and volunteering

Connecting People and Landscapes builds understanding of the interconnectedness of food production and wildlife. It’s about helping people take action to create and restore healthy ecosystems and thriving agricultural landscapes which are more resilient to climate change.

The project will link farmers, local people and groups to build a community around nature-friendly food production, supporting farmers in producing food that sustains and enhances the environment.

As well as holding events and activities on farms and in communities to raise awareness and inspire action to care for the ecosystems that support us, our food production, and wildlife, Connecting People and Landscapes will train and support a community of volunteers and Citizen Scientists to help survey wildlife and monitor biodiversity on farms.

Ways to take part and become part of a community working to create a more resilient landscape:

• become a Citizen Scientist and help with surveying wildlife
• get to know the people that grow our food
• come along to farm events and wildlife walks
• learn how farming can support biodiversity
• help out with hands-on conservation activities on farms
• meet local people taking action for wildlife and share ideas, skills, and knowledge
