About
Disappearing bird species. Freak weather. Badger culls. Illegal hunting. Dangerous levels of air pollution.
Any one of these could be a news headline from today. But they are topics discussed in letters written by local conservationist, Charles Waterton, over 150 years ago.
This talk explores Waterton’s environmental campaigning and its relevance today. Waterton hoped his letters would do “a world of good.”
Today, we must all come together to Do a World of Good ourselves, before it is too late.
The talk will take place in the Learning Zone, which is located inside the main library space on the Upper Ground Floor of the Wakefield One building.
Suitable for adults 18+.
Free, booking required.
