University holds week-long Climate Action Festival

The University of Lincoln is holding a Climate Action Festival.

The event, which runs until Saturday, "is dedicated to raising climate awareness," the university said.

Activities include art exhibitions, tree walks, how to make nature-friendly art and ends with a city-wide community litter pick.

There will also be a chance to find out about some of the environmental research carried out at the university.

Libby John, Professor and Dean of Sustainability at the University of Lincoln said: “Our Climate Action Festival has become an autumnal highlight celebrating all things sustainability.

“From fashion to science to wildlife to art and craft there is a varied and exciting timetable of events where staff, students and members of our wider community can contribute and feel positive about their sustainability contribution."

Now in its fourth year, the festival takes place in various locations across the city.
