Around 150 people attended the Town Meeting on 2 March to hear from the Council's five committees - Finance, Sport Recreation and Environment, Public Halls, Festival Hall Development and the Planning Committee (as the Town council comments on all applications the Planning Authorities consult on.) Projects reported on were the £400k Council chamber upgrade, £255k on the Heath toilets, £283k for new lights rigging on the Festival Hall stage, £140k on the Penns playground and £55k on The Avenue tennis courts. Lots of information was provided and Rochelle Halliday the Town Clerk, said it will all appear in the Council's Annual Report which will be available shortly. We also hear from Robin Davison, the newly appointed Deputy Town Clerk. The Mayor's charities this year - Winton House and the Scouts - made presentations about their work. The South Downs National Park also spoke about the excellent working relationship with the Town Council. The park has 18.8m visitors overall and they gave details of the £800k town focused spending (from the section 106 levy on new buildings) which had been spent on, for example, the play area, signage, CCTV and the pond. Part of another fund - the Community Infrastructure Levy - has also allocated £250,000 allocated to the Council. Audience members had a few 'back and forths' with councillors about some things - the full costs of the Festival Hall work, trees being removed and not replaced, planning discussions but not involving local people. The Mayor made awards for 'service to Petersfield' to Jenny Tickner from Winton House, Jenny Cummings from Home Start Butser, Jen King from the Free Shop, Jordan Beech from the Friends of the Heath, John Wade-Palmer from the Physic garden and Steve Field for Agencies Working Together. Julie Butler and Mike Waddington report.

Richard Young, a New Zealand-based landscape photographer, shares his journey from Sussex, England, to the wild beauty of Wanaka, where he now creates deeply expressive and contemplative images. Growing up on a country estate in the South Downs National Park and influenced by his forester father, Richard developed a lifelong connection with nature that continues to shape his work.   In this conversation, Richard reflects on his evolution from capturing grand vistas to creating more intimate and emotional studies of the natural world. He discusses his experiences traveling through Africa, Antarctica, and Japan, and how these journeys expanded his artistic vision. Richard also explores the challenges and rewards of running a gallery, the importance of constructive critique, and the ongoing process of developing meaningful projects.   Listeners will gain insight into Richard's philosophy of expressing a personal relationship with the landscape, as well as his commitment to education through New Zealand Photography Workshops—now the country's largest photography tour operator. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of both the creative and professional sides of life as a working photographer.   I hope you enjoy the show!

Datshiane Navanayagam speaks two women from the Czech Republic and the UK about the ways in which they use horses to promote human physical and mental health.Vera Lantelme-Faisan's professional background is in Equine Assisted Physiotherapy in the Czech Republic. Between 2004 and 2009, she played a key role in establishing a EAT centre for children at a rehabilitation hospital in Saudi Arabia and last year she assumed the role of president of The Federation of Horses in Education and Therapy International (HETI) - a leading international resource for all those involved in Equine Assisted Services. Claudia Nicholson's personal experience of horses providing the support and sanctuary she needed throughout the angst of her teenage years is one of the reasons why she wanted to help people experience the therapeutic benefits of horses and other equines in their own lives. She now runs her own centre for Equine Assisted Learning at Downmere Farm, in the South Downs National Park where she prioritises working with vulnerable children and young adults - building up confidence and self esteem through non-ridden ground work exercises with the horses as active participants.

In the concrete jungle of modern urban living, we've lost something fundamental: our connection to the natural world. But Biophilic Design is offering a lifeline, promising to transform our cities from sterile, energy-hungry environments into vibrant, living ecosystems that nurture both human health and planetary well-being.We speak with Luke Engleback, who has over 40 years' experience as a designer at all scales. We talk about biophilic design, ecourbanism, biodiversity, climate change adaptation and health. Luke is a board member and former chair of the Landscape Foundation. He also sits on the Landscape Institute Policy and Public Affairs Committee, and the Midlands Design Panel, the Cambridge Quality Panel and the South Downs National Park. For Luke Biophilic Design isn't just another architectural trend. It's a radical reimagining of how we live, work, and interact with our surroundings. At its heart lies a simple yet profound understanding: we are not separate from nature, but intrinsically part of it.Recent groundbreaking research provides compelling evidence of nature's transformative power. In Finland, a remarkable study revealed the profound impact of natural environments on children's health. Two daycare centres became an unexpected laboratory of discovery. One centre introduced forest soil and leaf litter into its play area, allowing children to get delightfully messy. The results were astonishing. Children in this natural setting developed more diverse microbiomes and, crucially, had fewer harmful pathogens compared to their peers in clinically clean environments.Similar research in Barcelona uncovered another revelation. Medical researchers discovered that children raised in greener urban spaces demonstrated significantly better cognitive performance. This wasn't about wealth or privilege, but about the fundamental human need to connect with living systems.These aren't isolated examples, but part of a growing understanding that our built environments dramatically impact our physical and mental well-being. Climate change has accelerated this recognition. Cities are becoming unbearable heat islands, with temperatures rising dramatically. But biophilic design offers a sophisticated, multi-layered solution. Eco-urbanism emerges as the critical framework for this transformative approach. It's not just design, but a holistic systems thinking methodology that challenges traditional urban planning. Where conventional approaches work in rigid, isolated silos – treating transportation, water management, energy, and green spaces as separate challenges – eco-urbanism sees the city as a living, interconnected organism.Luke Engelback describes this approach as "elastic thinking" – the ability to zoom in and out, understanding how individual interventions connect to broader ecological systems. It's about breaking down artificial boundaries between disciplines, recognizing that a rain garden isn't just about managing water, but about hydrating urban soils, supporting biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and creating cooling microclimates.This systems approach means reimagining every urban element. A street becomes more than a transportation corridor – it's a potential site for water management, carbon capture, biodiversity support, and community well-being. A building's facade isn't just a structural element, but an opportunity for vertical gardens, air purification, and thermal regulation.Innovative urban planners are reimagining cityscapes as living, breathing entities. In Florence, architects designed a revolutionary urban cooling system using natural wind patterns, channelling sea breezes over water features to reduce the need for energy-intensive air conditioning. In the UK, a visionary project Luke worked on in Ashford proposed transforming large agricultural fields into interconnected woodland patches, simultaneously addressing flooding risks, carbon sequestration, and landscape restoration.But biophilic design isn't just about grand architectural gestures. It's accessible to everyone. As landscape architect Luke passionately argues, even small actions matter. A pot plant on a windowsill, a patch of wildflowers instead of a concrete driveway – these seemingly minor interventions create a cumulative positive impact.The potential is extraordinary. Imagine cities where every surface becomes an opportunity for life – green roofs, living walls, urban forests, and integrated water management systems. Where buildings don't just shelter us but actively contribute to ecological regeneration.This isn't wishful thinking. Luke reminds us that leading scientists like Edward O. Wilson have long advocated for a radical reimagining of our relationship with the natural world. His vision of dedicating half the Earth to nature isn't about creating vast, untouchable reserves, but about understanding our fundamental interdependence.Biophilic design represents a paradigm shift from the destructive, linear "take-make-waste" economic model to a circular, regenerative approach. It challenges the siloed thinking that has dominated urban planning, replacing it with systems thinking that recognizes the intricate connections between human health, ecological systems, and urban infrastructure.Luke also says that the benefits extend far beyond environmental sustainability. Research consistently shows that exposure to natural environments reduces stress, improves cognitive function, and supports overall well-being. This is true, in an age of increasing mental health challenges, this isn't just design – it's a form of collective therapy.As our cities continue to grow and climate change intensifies, biophilic design isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. It offers a hopeful, practical pathway to creating urban environments that don't just sustain us but help us thrive.The revolution starts small, as Luke suggests, even a plant on a windowsill, a community garden, a green roof. But its potential is limitless. We are at the pivot point to the future of urban living, where every design choice is an opportunity to reconnect, regenerate, and reimagine our relationship with the living world. Luke has written a brilliant article in our Journal “Biophilic Design and Ecourbanism – an example at Cannock Mill Co-housing, Colchester Winner of the 2024 SALUS Healthy City Design Award for Healthy homes & neighbourhoods”, The Journal of Biophilic Design, Issue 14, Third Age, pp. 82 -87www.studioengleback.com If you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

In this Bucket List episode, host Aaron Millar recounts the most audacious, tipsiest, and ridiculous hike of his life: a 100-mile pub crawl across the entire length of the South Downs National Park, near his hometown of Brighton England. “Should you ever happen to find yourself walking with only one boot on in the middle of the night,” Aaron writes, “the one thing you don't want to read when you open the guidebook is – ‘the path climbs gently through a field of stingy nettles and large piles of cow dung.' Nonetheless, having undertaken the challenge of walking the entire 100-mile length of the South Downs Way, from Eastbourne to Winchester, this was precisely where I found myself on only my second day on the trail.”The South Downs Way has been walked by traders, drovers, and pilgrims for hundreds of years. Because of that a network of old Coaching Inns has sprung up along the trail where weary travelers could rest for the night, grab some dinner and pint of ale. Centuries later many are still standing, and it's possible to walk the entire trail stopping at them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a few drinks in between.100-miles – shoeless or not – is a long way, but it's worth every inch of the effort because this part of the world is overflowing with gentle landscapes, ancient history, and warm welcoming people. Not to mention a good pint or two.DO THIS PUB CRAWL YOURSELF!You can find out more information about the South Downs Way, and South Downs National Park at www.southdowns.gov.ukIt's possible to work out the route of the pub crawl yourself, or drop Aaron a line for the insider tips: info@armchair-explorer.comCONNECT WITH USIf you enjoy the show, please subscribe on whatever podcast player you're reading this on right now.

In 1921, Asta Nielsen, one of the world's biggest movie star in the world had just formed her own production company, and decided to open it up by playing Hamlet. Plenty of women had done that on the stage in the 19th century, but Nielsen's performance had a twist. Inspired by a mysterious American's quirky book, Nielsen decided to make a version of Hamlet where the lead character was born a woman, a fact that was kept secret from nearly all of the play's characters for her entire life. We talk about this film and Nielsen's remarkable career with Pamela Hutchinson, a writer and film historian who recently curated the British Film Institute's Asta Nielsen film festival about Nielsen's Hamlet. Pamela Hutchinson is a freelance writer, film historian, and curator. You can read her film writing in Sight & Sound, Criterion, and in The Guardian. She's a regular on BBC radio. Her website, devoted to silent films, is Silent London, at silentlondon.co.uk. Visit the British Film Institute's website at bfi.org.uk for information about their recently concluded Asta Nielsen film festival. Find Hamlet and more of Nielsen's films on the Danish Film Institute's website, stumfilm.dk. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast. Published April 12, 2022. © Folger Shakespeare Library.
