Ideas Exchange – How can we bring river wildlife back into our urban rivers? Online Event

Join us for a 45-minute gathering to share ideas, stories and practical ways to make our lives, communities and cities better for people and nature.

In each session, we’ll hear from people across the world’s National Park Cities who are putting ideas into practice and making a difference in their communities.

Come along to meet others, hear what’s working in different places, ask questions and swap solutions.

We hope you’ll leave not only inspired, but with useful ideas and approaches that you can adapt and try in your own community.

Everyone is welcome. You don’t have to live in a National Park City to attend.

Expect an informal, friendly and solution-orientated conversation.
