We are determined to inspire more people like you to change the world by shifting to more plant-rich eating. And we are committed to ensure everyone has a good time & does it well.

Heather Devey – Co-Director, Wild Intrigue
Inspire, educate, rewild. Those three words began Wild Intrigue’s journey a decade ago and remain at it’s core today. Heather is passionate about ‘rewilding for all’, discovering, designing and leading ways for every person to connect directly with nature, and for these interactions to benefit people, places and wildlife. She loves creating fresh ways to share the enchantment of nature with others. Sometimes we need to be enticed to break away from our usual routines, and it’s always such a joy to explore new ways of sharing our local wilds. Losing ourselves in the wonder and awe of nature – no matter our age – is vital for us, but so too is it vital for Nature. Wonder leads to an intrigue to learn more, and this education turns to appreciation and understanding. To rewild our living systems we need to rewild ourselves and Heather’s talk will be teaching us to do this.
Peter Cairns, Producer and Host of “At the Edge” – Headline Speaker
For more than three decades Peter has worked as a conservation photographer, nature tour operator and environmental communicator— writing and illustrating hundreds of books and features, producing documentaries, and delivering talks, media interviews and educational workshops. He has spent the last 30 years promoting a transformational shift in our relationship with nature. As a photographer, writer and communicator, Peter has also conceived and delivered multiple high-profile conservation media campaigns, including Tooth & Claw, Wild Wonders of Europe and 2020VISION.
In 2018, Peter co-founded the rewilding charity SCOTLAND: The Big Picture, serving at its CEO until 2025. Now working independently, he is developing a media platform that takes a deep dive into our relationship with wild nature – and with each other.

Clean Air Day, launched in 2017 by Global Action Plan, is held every third Thursday in June.

The campaign provides resources for events and petitions to influence policy, such as cleaner transport.
Air pollution is linked to thousands of premature deaths annually in the UK. Past campaigns have increased public prioritisation of the issue, with more people choosing active travel over cars. Global Action Plan collaborates with organisations to mobilise the Clean Air movement.
The day promotes simple actions like reducing car idling, walking or cycling, and advocating for systemic changes to eliminate fossil fuel use in urban areas.
