There are no toilet facilities. \nVolunteers will need to be prepared for a day in the fells – ie full waterproofs\, good boots\, plenty of water and food\, a sun hat\, warm clothes.

The film is 45-60 minutes long\, and the Q&A session after will last approximately one hour. \nLeaving It Better\, is a film produced alongside a project that brought together environmental campaigners from across the North East with a group of farmers from Upper Teesdale in the North Pennines National Landscape. Over the course of the project duration\, the group met on farms in Teesdale to have conversations about the works and activities the campaigners were involved in\, and the feelings of responsibility farmers feel\, as custodians of the landscape\, considering the impact of our actions in the landscapes and communities we live in. \nAlongside the film screening\, will be the launch of a podcast episode and zine\, both of which have been created as part of this project. These offer further insights\, personal reflections\, and creative responses inspired by the conversations and connections formed during the project’s duration. \nThe aim of the project was to create spaces for dialogue between two groups of people who are not often in conversation with each other\, and both of whom sometimes feel misrepresented in the media. It offered a place for farmers and campaigners to come together and explore each other’s areas of work and interest. ‘Leaving it Better’ reflects the common ground the group found through listening to each other and the positive actions taken to care for the world around us. \nEveryone welcome\, booking required. If you are a Tees-Swale farmer you can come to this launch event for free\, please email William Bowman to get the code. \nPlease book using the Ticketsource link. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n  \n \n  \n  URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/leaving-it-better-film/ LOCATION:Mickleton Village Hall\, DL12 0JY CATEGORIES:Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wildflowers.png ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250402T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250402T120000 DTSTAMP:20260406T231851 CREATED:20250123T154633Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250328T152854Z UID:10001242-1743584400-1743595200@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Adder survey opportunities DESCRIPTION:Would you like to contribute to the conservation of adders in the North Pennines National Landscape?\nWe are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to complete surveys of this iconic reptile\, which is now vulnerable to extinction in England\, as part of our ‘Adders Up’ project. \nThere are three opportunities to volunteer at a location near Rookhope\, 2 and 22 April\, and 27 May\, 9am to 12 noon. \nThe surveys are ideally suited for adults\, under 16’s must be supervised by an adult.
