How community gardens can support biodiversity | Pam Warhurst | TEDxManchester
When tomorrow’s problems can seem so overwhelming, evidence shows that hope comes from rethinking two of civilisation’s greatest assets: our people & our land. This passionate talk about creating positive change offers one path of doing just that. Pam Warhurst was formerly Leader of Calderdale Council, chair of an NHS trust, deputy chair of The Countryside Agency, and Chair of the Forestry Commission.Today she is best known as the co-founder of Incredible Edible, an movement that is helping rebuild local communities through the reclamation of public land for food and nature .In a world crying out for positive change and leadership we believe Pam’s story contains valuable lessons for anyone trying to make things happen even if you’re starting with nothing more than a good idea. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
