The BeeWalks will be coordinated by a member of the Tees-Swale Farming and Nature Team. \nContact Molly for more information: molly@northpenninesaonb.org.uk.\nPlease sign up using our Better Impact volunteer system  \n  URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/beewalk-training-with-the-bumblebee-conservation-trust-teesdale-pollinator-surveying/ LOCATION:Bowlees Visitor Centre\, Newbiggin\, DL12 0XF CATEGORIES:Bowlees Visitor Centre events,Volunteering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Red-tailed-bumblebee-on-devils-bit-scabious-Ruth-Starr-Keddle-NPAP.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240521T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240521T160000 DTSTAMP:20260406T130423 CREATED:20240415T104404Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240415T113222Z UID:10000999-1716285600-1716307200@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Mining heritage condition assessment training DESCRIPTION:Do you have an interest in the historic environment and lead mining heritage of the North Pennines and a passion about its conservation?

The length of the film is 93 minutes. The session after lasting approximately one hour. \nSix Inches of Soil follows the inspiring story of British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food – to heal the soil\, benefit our health and provide for local communities. The film follows the highs and lows of three new farmers on their regenerative journey: Anna Jackson\, a Lincolnshire 11th generation arable and sheep farmer; Adrienne Gordon\, a Cambridgeshire small-scale vegetable farmer; and Ben Thomas\, who rears pasture fed beef livestock in Cornwall. \nAs the trio of young farmers strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable businesses\, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. They are joined by other experts providing wisdom and solutions from a growing movement of people who are dedicated to changing the trajectory for food\, farming and the planet. The film is categorised as a PG. \nThis event is part of North Pennines NatureFest running from Saturday 24 May to Sunday 9 June 2024.
