Squash is screening the Peoples Emergency Briefing, a film about the climate & nature crisis, this evening in collaboration with MerseyWilders. This event is now fully booked, but do check the link in our bio for more screenings in the local area or check to find out how to host your own screening.

MerseyWilders is a collective who advocate for all beings, connecting people and nature through experiences, collective learning and action. We are united in activity and habitat and the desire to bring ecological resilience and awareness back to the biosphere of the Mersey.

The importance of this film to us is understated. Our city is far behind many others, when it comes to ecological resilience and using solutions that aren’t extractive or top down. We need change, and this motive and call to action behind this film should help to catalyse that.

Today at our annual squash planting day we'll be planting these 8 seeds gifted by our friends at our Harvest Auction last Autumn.

(See statement in bio).

'The destruction of any seed bank is a loss for us all.'
