Interested in making connections with natural environment organisations based in South West England? Come along to the Natural History Consortium's Making Connections event on Tuesday 14 January 2025.
Growing Shoots
The Natural History Consortium (NHC) is hosting a networking and relationship-building event between its members as part of its Growing Shoots project and is inviting you to come along.
This event aims to map previous and/or existing collaborations between and across the NHC partners to help reveal gaps and explore priorities and the potential for future collaborations/funding bids.
If you're interested in working with organisations outside the University around engaged environmental research or, more broadly, nature-related citizen science, public engagement, green skills and green health, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
Making Connections event
When: Tuesday 14 January 2025, 12:30-14:30
Where: Percy Community Centre, New King Street, Bath, BA1 2BN
Who is it for?
Anyone interested in environmental science looking to form new connections, explore collaborative opportunities, or share your ideas on how your work can engage with the wider community.

Get involved
If you are interested in being involved in the Growing Shoots project but can't join us for the Making Shoots event, the NHC would still love to hear from you. Let them know about your work or interests by filling in the Growing Shoots survey, or you can book a chat either in-person, online, or on the phone to chat to the team by dropping the team an email (Kristina@bnhc.org.uk).

Recent collaborations over the last year have seen University of Bath researchers participating in the Milsom Street Takeover for the Festival of Nature 2024, Milner Centre for Evolution research working with other NHC members to successfully secure funding for collaborative research from the Natural Environment Research Council, and researchers from the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations sharing their work during the NHC annual Communicate Conference.
