The Time Of Year…..
Monday morning, 25th of August….1.30 am ……pitch black sky full of stars……and….the Bears are back…..
The Way Home
Night sky reels over into darkness at last, as
North leans away from Sun. And
Look, the Bears are back!
Summer’s done
Fulfilled, we look back over Light Years to
Where they point the way Home

From ‘Wild Justice’…..
“Join us at the Wild Summit on 11 September 2025 at the Bristol Beacon – we’ve got ten free tickets to give away!
We’ve been busy the last few weeks getting ready to participate in the inaugural Wild Summit in September – an environmental extravaganza hosted by Wildlife & Countryside Link which will bring together nature lovers, campaigners, politicians and policy experts to celebrate wildlife and nature conservation in the UK and discuss the action we must take to improve and restore it.
There’ll be over 100 speakers during the day – including discussion panels on the main stage and ‘partner’ events running concurrently in two separate areas. In the main hall you’ll find the stalls of many of the leading wildlife and environmental organisations where you can go and chat about their work and find out how you can get involved.
We are hosting a very special partner event on the Lantern Hall Stage at 13.00 – 13.45hrs, straight after lunch. We’ve called it Past, Pheasant, Future: Why are 50 million non-native chickens released into our countryside every year? and it’ll be unlike anything you’ve seen before! We don’t want to give too much away but it’ll be an immersive, fun and interactive event! (We’ll also be filming it so those of you who can’t make it can watch it later).
We’ll also have a stall in the main hall, on the ground floor, so if you’re at the event, please do come and say hello.
We’re offering TEN free tickets to Wild Justice supporters (tickets include entrance, access to all events, refreshments & lunch, and evening reception). If you’d like one of these tickets, please email us at admin@wildjustice.org.uk with ‘SUMMIT TICKET’ as the subject header. We’ll pick ten names at random on Thursday 28 August at 17.00hrs and will contact the lucky winners by email.
Wild Summit – Thursday 11 September 2025, 08.30 – 19.30hrs.
Bristol Beacon, Trenchard Street, Bristol, BS1 5AR
You can buy your own tickets - here.
We hope to see many of you there!
Thank you.
Wild Justice (CEO: Bob Elliot. Directors: Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay).
