Biosphere talk with Rich Howarth

Brighton and Lewes Downs is the first new UNESCO world Biosphere site in the UK for 40 years. Rich Howarth has been the Biosphere Programme Manager since 2011. He will be talking about the Brighton and Lewes Downs Bio-sphere and the important role that Allotments play in improving our environment and the overall benefit they bring to the biosphere.

“Hear how you and your allotment can play a part in The Living Coast mission – to pioneer a positive future for people and nature – in our world-class environment of downs, towns and coast, recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Region. Learn how you can also help wildlife and the quality of our natural environment whilst growing food on your plot.”

This promises to be an interesting talk for ecologically minded allotmenteers.
