“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”

Robert Swan

We’re living at a time of climate and ecological crisis. The science is clear and people around the world are joining the call for change. For Earth Day 2023 (22 April) artists and organisations along the South-East Coast are coming together to connect with nature through creative activity. Take part in a workshop, explore a gallery, or even discover a Pocket Park – there’s lots to do and lots of ways to be inspired.
