As part of this talk, he will recount his own experience of mountain climbing and hillwalking, and how exploring green spaces was transformative for his personal wellbeing.
He will also focus on how upland environments are threatened by climate change, increasing footfall, human intervention and habitat loss before questioning how we should sustain our upland areas in the future.

The talk will be followed by tea/coffee and tasty bites.
