...and it's bigger and better!
In next Monday's (15th March) The Forum Live session, we'll be treated to an update on the nationwide Dynamic Dunescape project, which we were first introduced to last November. We'll be joined once again by Julia Galbenu from the National Trust at Studland Bay and will also welcome Eve Mulholland from the Cumbria Wildlife Trust.
Studland Bay is arguably, Britain's best Naturist beach. The bay in Dorset - with other non-Naturist sections is owned by the National Trust. Nude bathing has a long history there. British Naturism is even represented on the official, National Trust operated, beach users group. Tucked away in western Cumbria on Haverigg Hawes lies ‘Lakeland Outdoor Club’ Naturist club. With a back drop of the Lakeland fells and 50 yards from the beach, it's a hidden gem.
Both Julia and Eve will be making presentations and, as usual, there will be time for questions. We'll also be talking about how we can get involved, and perhaps even make plans for event(s).
Julia Galbenu has always been fascinated by the natural world. After completing her degree in Biological Sciences at Oxford University, Julia committed herself to environmental education and engagement. Her passion took her around the world, working in India, Honduras, Panama and Ecuador on different environmental projects. Last year, England called her back and she was determined to have a positive impact on nature at home. In March 2020, she began working as the Engagement Officer for the Dynamic Dunescapes Project at Studland Bay.
Eve Mulholland is the Engagement Officer for Dynamic Dunescapes in Cumbria, working for Cumbria Wildlife Trust. She has several years’ experience working with people in the outdoors and has a background in ecology. Covering 11 Dynamic Dunescapes sites, Eve is passionate about our coastal landscapes, the incredible wildlife that lives there and creating experiences in nature for people to enjoy. Cumbria’s coastline boasts thousands of acres of beautiful sand dune systems. They are a fantastic place to explore, home to one of the largest populations of natterjack toads, rare and delicate orchids and the nationally scare northern dune tiger beetle.
