SUMMARY:Tree Care in Hope Wood
DESCRIPTION:Fridays 17 & 24 April; 1 & 8 May 2026: Tree Care in Hope Wood from 10:30am-3pm.\n\n\n\n\nYOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER!\n\nWe did indeed plant all 12\,500 trees before Easter Sunday\, but around 2000 of them don’t yet have their woollen mulch mats to protect them from competing grass growth. ParkLife SW will be on site\, from 10.30am to 3.00pm (join anytime) to make a start and would be very grateful for your help.\n\n\nWear wellies! Tools provided but bring a mallet/lump hammer if you have one. \,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nFind us north of Portford Lane (What3Words: deodorant.chainsaw.dads)\, a few minutes’ walk from Palstone Park Recreation Ground (where you need to leave any cars as there is no parking available on site). Follow signs to site. See https://ssb.org.uk/hope-wood/ and ParkLife – the organisation contracted by South Hams District Council to arrange the tree care sessions.

SUMMARY:Talk: 'Plankton\, Climate and Gaia'
DESCRIPTION:Friday 17 April 2026: ’Plankton\, Climate and Gaia’ \nThe 6th talk in SSB’s Nature/Wildlife series at 7.30pm in the main hall at Old School Community Centre. \nDr Frances Hopkins from the Plymouth Marine Laboratory will talk about how marine life helps to regulate our planet. \nEarth’s climate is shaped not just by winds and oceans\, but by life itself. Dr Hopkins will introduce the remarkable world of microscopic marine plankton – the tiny organisms that produce half of the oxygen we breath\, absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide\, and even help clouds to form. \nDrawing on Gaia theory\, which explores how life and the environment interact to keep earth habitable\, she will show how the earths ‘invisible forest’ plays a central role in regulating our climate. She will explain how her research uncovers the chemical conversations between the sea and the sky and how these delicate feedbacks are being affected by climate change. \nA fascinating\, hopeful journey into the hidden systems that keep our planet in balance. \nAll welcome; Refreshments available; \nDonations help us do more!
