About the Event
Planet Shaftesbury is collaborating with Sustainable Shaftesbury, Dorset Climate Action Network, and Sustainable Dorset to provide an engaging stall where we can share information and talk with visitors. This year the stall will be next door to Dorset Wildlife Trust, with whom Sustainable Shaftesbury will be working on their Big Lottery funded Nature Connection North Dorset project through to 2031. A good opportunity to bring them up to speed on local activities?
Some volunteers will be on the stall for much of the two days, but they'd like additional volunteers to do 2 hour shifts, meet the DWT people and engage with the public. Some complementary tickets are available.
To get involved in preparations or add yourself to a rota, email richardgthomas01@gmail.com
