A free screening of two short films by Cornwall Climate Care is taking place at the St Gluvias Community Hall, Penryn on Saturday, January 25.
The Mid-Cornwall Climate and Eco Hub, supported by local Women's Institutes and WI Climate Ambassadors, is inviting people to join them for a day of information and inspiration.
Audience members can meet people and groups at the event who are working to protect and restore our Cornish Waters and the life that depends on them. Refreshments, cake and delicious home-made soup available and a Watery Quiz and Treasure Hunt.
Stalls from local organisations working to protect and restore the rivers and seas will be on hand with information and answers to any questions.
Along the way he meets those working to tackle the problems facing our freshwater sources. This includes the volunteer river monitors lifting the lid on sewage pollution in Cornish rivers, farmers changing how they manage their land to help save topsoil and a project to ‘re-wet’ Cornwall’s peatlands.
Under The Surface, is narrated by Claire Wallerstein, who spent eight years running the Cornish beach cleaning group Rame Peninsula Beach Care (RPBC).
It follows her as she interviews marine experts studying creatures ranging from tiny plankton up to grey seals and basking sharks – and learns that the successful work of groups such as RPBC in highlighting the issue of marine plastic pollution may have had an unintended consequence.
Doors are open at 3pm for a 3.30pm start and ends at 7pm. To book places, visit: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/troubled-waters-clean-seas-and-rivers-for-people-and-wildlife-tickets-1118950895249
