Communicate is a national annual conference for environmental communicators, policy makers, scientists, students, film makers and the like from all sectors. It is organised by the Natural History Consortium and is based in Bristol.

Each year I get to meet with my peers and listen to and get involved with cutting edge ideas, with contemporary practice and with exploring solutions. Time to recharge my batteries.
