Help Our Planet

A Series Of Talks By World-Renowned Environmental Experts

At HOPTalksDorset, we believe that environmental conservation is not just a responsibility, but an opportunity to create a better world for all.  Talks are held every month at Sladers Yard Cafe and Art Gallery in West Bay, Dorset. These cover topics ranging from rewilding, environmental pollution, organic farming, the effects of climate change on marine life, butterfly conservation, the preservation of tropical rainforests, saving of coral reefs , management of protected sites and reserves, Citizen Science projects. etc. Most talks are given live by the speaker and some of these are filmed for wider distribution.  Some events include a panel discussion with well-known experts, and all include an open discussion with the audience.
