A day of practical local action and hands-on climate awareness next to Edgbaston Reservoir.About this Event
Join us at the Nature & Wellbeing Centre for World Climate Day on 23rd March and help make a greener future!
Join us for a special World Climate Day event as part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) this March!
Spend the day discovering how we can take meaningful action for the environment in our own neighbourhoods - from small everyday changes to hands-on activities that strengthen community connections and help nature thrive where we live.
Our three acre site will be open to everyone throughout the day - take part in as much or as little as you like, or simply visit to enjoy our green space and spend time outdoors!
