About our Events
Our Story
As is so often the case, this journey began sat around a coffee table wondering how to address the following concerns:
How to bring people whose interests and priorities should align but do not seem to, together for the common good.
How to assist possible decision makers who do not live or work in the uplands or lowlands to understand these unique landscapes and their communities, flora and fauna.
As people with a deep affection for British wildlife and rural communities, how to ensure their future as some of the last strongholds for some of Britain’s best-loved species.
From that gathering Why Moorlands Matter was born and from there Why Lowlands Matter flourished.
What we hope to achieve?
To bring together people from different walks of life and mindsets for harmonising an inclusive approach for protecting Britain’s landscapes, wildlife and communities…
We are often asked what we achieve with our events and the good news is we can achieve success in many different ways. Introductions between people from which good things evolve, decision makers having a greater understanding of the uplands and/or lowlands and their communities, addressing myths about wildlife and what it requires to survive and flourish.
However, if any of our guests return home and enter into a discussion about such matters, they will now be able to say ‘well actually… I have been, and seen it with my own eyes and …’, that is an achievement in itself compared to them not knowing.
