Looking forward to the press preview of Cotswolds: Field & Folk on 3rd July - and then the screenings tour across the summer which will follow!

As Cotswolds: Field & Folk begins its summer screening tour, we're inviting members of the press to be among the first audiences to experience the film.

Over the past two years, we've travelled across the Cotswolds meeting the farmers, conservationists, historians and local communities who help shape and care for this extraordinary landscape. The result is a feature documentary that celebrates the people behind the views and explores the connection between land, heritage and community.

We're holding a limited number of seats at selected screenings for journalists, reviewers, broadcasters, bloggers and media outlets who would like to cover the film, attend a screening, or arrange an interview with the filmmakers.
If you're interested in joining us and getting a first look at Field & Folk, we'd love to hear from you.

BIG NEWS! We have just announced two paid work placements for this summer. If you're aged 18 - 25, and stuck in the vicious cycle of looking for a role, but not yet having any experience, these short placements could be ideal - especially if you're aiming for a career in conservation! The placements will be in an area of woodland, and you'll be doing physically demanding work, so you'll need a proficient level of fitness and mobility. You don't have to have any experience though - we'll teach you what you need for the week. What we're looking for is enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. If that sounds like you, check the Vacancies page on our website at www.cotswolds-nl.org.uk. The first placement is 29 June - 3 July. Details of the second week are coming soon.

It's International Dark Sky week! If the clouds shift, and there's a clear night sky above you this weekend, why not look up and see what you can see? Star gazing is good for the mind, body and soul! And dark skies are great for wildlife - think bats and bugs and moths! For more info about the wonders of the night sky, visit https://idsw.darksky.org/ . And if you're looking for ways to minimise nighttime light pollution around your home or workplace, remember we published some technical guidance on just that in the Our Work section of our website at www.cotswolds-nl.org.uk
