Join the ONS and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) on at for an introduction to environmental statistics – from measuring air quality, recycling, and climate change concern, to learning how you can play a part by taking part in citizen science, like the Big Butterfly Count.

It’s more important than ever to understand what’s happening to our natural world. By collecting and analysing lots of data, we can closely monitor the changes that are happening to the environment and create statistics that make a difference – and you can play a part in this too.

Many may not need an introduction to this film as the book ‘Wilding’ has become a best seller. However, great cinematography and a beautiful score bring this inspiring story of an ancient landscape being reborn vividly to life. It’s the story of a young couple trusting in nature to secure the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. Bravely abandoning their intensive farming practices, they instead created a haven in which fences were removed and animals could run free. This grand experiment has become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe. Its message to allow nature to thrive is a timely one. Emmy award winning director David Allen documents a rare success story and, in the process succeeds in creating an elegant and delightful film.
