The final two sessions of an environmental learning series in Dorset are set to take place next month.
Wimborne u3a and Planet Wimborne are inviting people to take part in the final Greener Wimborne, Better Planet events this June, part of a five-part programme that began with talks in April.
The events aim to blend expert insight with hands-on exploration to help people better understand environmental issues and take practical action.

Ashley Rowlands, chair of Wimborne u3a, said: “Greener Wimborne, Better Planet is about bringing people together to learn, explore and take positive action.
“We’ve been delighted with the interest in the series so far and the final two sessions look set to be as popular.”
The first June session, Arts and the Environment, takes place on June 1, from 1pm to 3pm.
It will explore how arts and culture can inspire environmental understanding and change, featuring projects from Wimborne Contemporary Arts and Wimborne Community Theatre.
Walk on the Wild Side, a guided walk at Badbury Rings and the surrounding woodlands, will run on June 15, from 1pm to 3pm.
It will introduce participants to the distinctive habitats of east Dorset and the wildlife that calls them home.
Sessions are free for u3a members and £10 for non-members.
Those wishing to attend these sessions must apply in advance via membership@wimborneu3a.org.uk.
