The event featured a wealth of speakers from wildlife and conservation groups on Saturday and Sunday, including Christine Buxton, chief executive of Suffolk Wildlife Trust, discussing nature and climate, and Dr Helene Burningham, a coastal scientist from the University College of London, who discussed building coastal community stewardship.
Jon Neal, chief executive of Suffolk Mind, also spoke about climate anxiety, while Sadie Lofthouse, from Adnams Brewery, talked about big and small steps in climate action.
Attendees to the event also enjoyed refreshments and exhibitors such as Suffolk Birding Group, Woodbridge Growers and Fairtrade Ipswich.
