Join us at the Crannie Community Hub to watch and talk about this film, and reintroducing forests and wild animals like lynx and wolves.
About this Event

Struck by the depleted state of nature in Scotland, Flo journeys around Europe, where she encounters a different story, finding places where nature is making a dramatic comeback. She finds herself in new forests, face to face with city beavers, seeing a bear family, watching a lynx released into the wild. Inspired by a sense of hope and renewal, she is prompted to ask: if this is possible elsewhere, then why not Scotland?

Join us at the Crannie to watch this film together, and to discuss and reflect in a rewilding workshop after. Expect a wonderful film and real, honest and open conversations about our hopes and fears around rewilding. Guided and facilitated by researcher Toryn Whitehead, we'll ask ourselves and each other what Flo asks: why not Scotland?

Toryn is based in Edinburgh and researches rewilding and wildlife reintroductions, particularly lynx, wild boar and wolves. He will also give a wee presentation about lynx reintroduction. So if you have any questions and curiousity about rewilding, you'll be in safe hands.

We'll have lots of snacks and drinks here, hope to see you there!
