Date and time
Wednesday, April 9 · 4 – 5pm GMT+1
At the end of 2023, Hull announced it would implement a Right to Grow policy, to support communities in accessing public land for food and nature projects.
That was the easy part! What followed was a year of working through a detailed process to decide exactly how the policy would be implemented, and how it would work in practice.
The whole process was followed closely by researchers at the University of Leeds. In this session we’ll hear the learnings and observations from that research, as well as hear from the officer who will be working with the community in Hull to bring the Right to Grow to life!
There will be time for discussion and questions at the end.
Who should join the webinar?
🌱 Anyone working towards the adoption of a Right to Grow in their area
🌱 Anyone with an interest in policy change to support community land access
🌱 Anyone who believes we need more community food and nature spaces in our urban spaces!
