    05. How the CEO of the North York Moors NPA is Involving Locals and Students in Climate Change Action.

    This week I am joined by Thomas Hind the North York Moors NPA CEO to talk about climate action within the national park and how he is involving locals, farmers, and students in their climate solutions. 

    The North York Moors is an incredible place full of wildlife, biodiversity but also local businesses that rely on the park to live and work, something we often overlook as visitors to national parks. I really enjoyed hearing what Thomas had to say and I definitely learned a lot from him.
